Providing five well-proportioned bedrooms, two unusually large reception rooms, generous private driveway parking, a garage, delightful established gardens, fantastic picturesque views, and so much more. Victorian villas of this size and calibre nearby to Silsden's town centre amenities, do not become available to the open market regularly.

Constructed in the late 1880's, Riversleigh stands amongst enviably private gardens and has a unique asymmetrical design, benefitting from a garden room and an 'L-shaped' wing of living accommodation at the rear. Offering far more than what first meets the eye.

An entrance conservatory. A grand reception reception hall. A large bay fronted living room. Spacious sitting room with another bay window. Downstairs WC. Inner hall and deep cloaks room. Access to the basement that is suitable for a variety of purposes. A modern dining kitchen having gas fired Aga. Open through to the garden room. On the first floor there are four bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms could easily accommodate king sized beds if required. Landing and half landing having access to a useful store room. Contemporary shower room appointed with a three piece white suite. On the second floor there is a well planned attic fifth bedroom benefitting from a bathroom en-suite. Outside offers a substantial private driveway with access shared with just one neighbouring property. Front garden having lawn with mature trees and evergreen borders. Enclosed walled rear garden enjoying undulating lawns, additonal mature trees, evergreen borders and well stocked vegetable/fruit plots. Garage with remote control sectional door.

The popular Aire Valley town of Silsden benefits from a wide range of amenities and is surrounded by open fields and countryside being on the route of the scenic Leeds/Liverpool canal. There is a doctors surgery/health centre, a modern primary school, a variety of pubs and shops, a traditional Italian restaurant, a Co-op food grocery store, an Aldi supermarket, a large park/playground, a sports club and various community groups and classes.

The nearby towns of Keighley, Skipton and Ilkley are only circa ten to twenty minutes driving distance away whilst the nearby Steeton and Silsden railway station provides regular daily services to Leeds and Bradford. The nearby Airedale Hospital complex is less than ten minutes driving distance away in the neighbouring village of Steeton. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is only a short driving distance away to the north along with Bolton Abbey and various other tourist attractions.
