The Banks is a delightful development of three, four and five bedroom homes in the charming town of Silsden. The site backs onto the Liverpool and Leeds Canal, a peaceful and tranquil setting in West Yorkshire.
A recent survey has shown that some 71% of the respondents believe people who live near the water are happier than those who don’t, up from 64% in 2017. Of the reasons to move to a waterside location, 51% highlighted the relaxing qualities, 47% cited better air quality and 35% said it aids mental wellbeing.[1] Waterside living supports a calmer, quieter lifestyle and gives you a chance to appreciate nature every day, from the comfort of your own home.
The Banks development is home to a unique property, High Bank House. This property is a three bedroom, unique characterful detached home which is a part of Silsden’s rich history and has stood on the banks of the Liverpool and Leeds canal for over a century.
We have expertly renovated the property to retain its character features. The stone exterior, three corniced chimney and blue slate roof have been perfectly maintained to represent the house’s history while the interior has been brought up to date with modern finishes including an open plan kitchen-diner with luxury appliances, stylish bathrooms and generous living spaces.
High Bank House is currently for sale with viewings by appointment only and gives one family a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town’s history.
Also available at The Banks are The Bainbridge and The Riverdale. Both are town house style homes that offer comfortable living across three floors with three bedrooms, large living areas, an impressive master bedroom with an ensuite, an open kitchen diner and most importantly, the beautiful view of the canal.
Silsden is situated in West Yorkshire between Keighley and Skipton, ideally placed for schools, shops, restaurants and walks along the canal. The town hosted several mills and the canal brought industry to the area, with maintained old mill buildings still present, representing the rich history of Silsden.
Each of our Harron Homes boast a high-end specification as standard, top of the range kitchens, stainless steel ovens, hobs and chimney extractors, Hammonds fitted wardrobes to the master bedroom, Rocca sanitary ware and Hansgrohe fittings.
