Award winning Ilkley home for sale in one of the best locations in town
It’s easy to see why Barry and Patricia Cox fell in love with Wheatley Chase, one of Ilkley’s finest Victorian villas, which is now for sale at £3.75m with Dacre, Son & Hartley. The location on The Drive in Ben Rhydding is sublime and the house, designed by renowned architect Edward Dodgshun, retains many of its original features.
The couple bought the property in 2006 and Barry and Patricia say: “We bought it because it was a one-off opportunity to experience and bring back to life an authentic, unspoilt Victorian Villa in a parkland setting.

The Drive is one of the most prestigious addresses in Ilkley and it combines easy walking distance to the town and moors and is within 200 yards of the train station, shops, a renowned Italian cafe bar and the award winning Wheatley Arms, an outstanding primary school and Ilkley Grammar School. The Cow and Calf rocks form a dramatic backdrop to the tennis court and the heather moors of Beamsley Beacon a backdrop to the entertaining terrace.”
