Rarely does a period property like this come to the market. I can see why so many of the residents have lived here for a number of years and have chosen not to move out of this lovely street, tucked away in this little backwater with everything that you need, right on your very doorstep (or not far from it). With character, charm and privacy, it is one of Far Headingley's best-kept secrets, but I would say that, wouldn't I? I am sure that it is one that you should be adding to the very top of your house-hunting shopping list. Why not come and see for yourself? Please do book yourself an appointment to view. I look forward to seeing you all at the Open Day.
Having parked on the driveway or roadside (permit parking required) your guided tour will start by proceeding through the porch/portico into a beautiful entrance hall...being southerly facing, there is good natural light. I particularly like the leaded and stained glass door, surrounds and windows above...what a lovely start to your viewing experience. By taking the first turn on the left, you will enter the living room...a nice feature of which is the lovely spaly bay widow which has leaded glass panes at the very top. At the head of the hallway and by turning left, you will enter a sizeable dining room. Which has private views over the back garden. There is excellent potential to ”knock-through” to the adjacent kitchen, which in turn would give the potential for a beautiful open plan dining kitchen...why not extend this room further at the rear...add some bi-folding doors and...wow...Please seek the advice of experts in this field. This work may also be subject to consents, regulations and approvals being granted. The adjacent kitchen is slightly longer than the dining room and gives access to the back garden. Last but by no means least is the guest cloakroom located off the hallway and in proximity, access to the cellar.
The staircase from the hallway will whisk you up to the elegant first-floor landing...Again, there are lovely leaded and stained glass windows. (Please see the photos) The master bedroom is located at the front of the house, with bedrooms 2 and 3 being located at the back. The bathroom is adjacent to bedroom 1, with a separate W.C., adjacent to the bathroom. An enclosed staircase gives access to the 2nd-floor landing. Here, there are 2 further sizeable double bedrooms, a former kitchen and a box room. And so to the outside...there is a lawned front garden bordered by flower beds and a paved driveway. A pathway leads around to the back of the house, where there is a lovely Indian stone patio and a further lawned garden beyond. A good degree of privacy is afforded and sunshine also.
Now to the amenities...Far Headingley & West Park are considered to be popular and sought-after areas of North Leeds. Main arterial roads give easy access to Horsforth, Moortown, Chapel Allerton, Headingley, Bramhope, Leeds city center and access to the motorway networks, and Leeds and Bradford International Airport. Public transport is on hand and there is a selection of schools in proximity, catering for children of all ages. Private schooling and nurseries too...most within walking distance...how convenient? Apart from good shopping, restaurants, pubs, and wine bars, there are lots of sports clubs to visit in order to work off those indulgences; The Village, David Lloyds and Chapel Allerton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club to name just a few. Also of local interest, is Golden Acre Park, The Canal Gardens at Roundhay, and the famous Roundhay Park with its twin lakes too. Lots of golf courses also. How Nice?

Entrance Porch
Entrance porch...often referred to as a portico. A lovely feature is the archway that then opens onto the entrance hall.
Entrance Hall
5.2m x 2.68m - 17'1” x 8'10”
(maximum measurements) What a lovely hallway, enhanced by the leaded and stained glass door, side panels and windows...with the sunlight streaming through them, this is a great start to your viewing. There are single and double panel radiators and coving.
Guest WC
3.15m x 0.83m - 10'4” x 2'9”
A great addition to the house. Low-level W.C., and a hand wash basin. Tile effect flooring, double-glazed windows to the front and rear elevations and 2 double panel radiators.
Living Room
6.07m x 3.97m - 19'11” x 13'0”
(maximum measurements into the bay and chimney breast recess) What a beautiful, elegant room in which to receive your guests and spend time with your friends and family...I just love the bay window too, particularly the leaded windows at the top. Double panel radiator, ornate coving and ceiling mouldings.
Dining Room
A pleasant surprise to find a room of this size, which also has private views over the back garden. There are fitted shelving and cupboards to the chimney breast recesses. Ornate coving, picture rails, and a radiator.
What impresses me the most about this room is the potential to knock through into the kitchen. This would enable the new owner/s to have a sizeable open plan dining kitchen...why not extend the dining room to the same level as the kitchen and by the addition of some bi-folding doors, you could have a room that most people can only dream of owning...These alterations may well need to conform to building regulations, consents and permissions, so please ensure that advice is taken before proceeding further.
Kitchen
5.35m x 2.73m - 17'7” x 8'11”
There is a range of floor and high-level cupboard units. Space for a cooker, fridge, freezer and a double drainer stainless steel sink unit. Concealed Worcester gas-fired central heating boiler, a double panel radiator, windows to the rear elevation and a door that gives access into the back garden. Don't forget about the opportunity to knock through into the dining room to create the reality of a potentially superb open-plan dining kitchen.
First Floor Landing
5.1m x 2.48m - 16'9” x 8'2”
The landing was one of the features that attracted the current owner to buy this house...I hope that you will like it too. I have taken a photo of it for you to peruse. Lovely leaded and stained glass windows, radiator and coving.
Bedroom 1
5.18m x 3.96m - 16'12” x 12'12”
What a super-sized master bedroom that enjoys a pleasant outlook and a southerly aspect, ensuring great natural light. Built-in wardrobes to the chimney breast recess, coving, a double panel radiator and a period fireplace.
Bedroom 2
Built-in wardrobe and bookcases/shelving. A radiator, picture rail and coving. Pleasant, private views over the back garden.
Bedroom 3
This would make a great study for those who choose to work from home. Fitted wardrobe, shelving and those lovely views over the back garden...how nice?
Bathroom
Will the Avacado coloured suite ever make a comeback? Only time will tell. There is a panelled bath which has a mains-fed shower unit above it, and a rail and a curtain. There is a wash hand basin, wall tiling and secondary glazing.
WC
There is a low-level W.C. And a window to the side elevation.
Like downstairs, there is the potential to knock the toilet and bathroom into one room and create space for a rather swish bathroom to be installed.
Second Floor Landing
3.66m x 1.99m - 12'0” x 6'6”
The enclosed staircase from the first-floor landing gives access to the top-floor landing of the house. There is access to all of the rooms from here, and to the loft, which we understand is insulated and part boarded.
Bedroom 4
3.97m x 3.63m - 13'0” x 11'11”
A great bedroom, having a dormer window, a double panel radiator and coving.
Bedroom 5
3.96m x 3.73m - 12'12” x 12'3”
Sited at the back of the house and a tad bigger than bedroom 4. Here we have a pedestal hand wash basin, a fitted wardrobe, a radiator and a dormer window.
Kitchen
2.06m x 1.73m - 6'9” x 5'8”
Previously, when a family member lived with the current owner, this room was converted into a kitchen, with one bedroom forming a living room. Almost like having your very own top-floor flat within your own house...great for a teenager, perhaps? Separately metered, too!
Store
2.05m x 1.64m - 6'9” x 5'5”
Often referred to as a boxroom, this is great as additional storage space.
Basement
There are 2 cellars located within the basement, measuring 3.36 m x 2.01 m and 2.74 m x 2.36 m.
Exterior
The property is set back and slightly elevated from the roadside, thus ensuring privacy to the front rooms. There is a lawned area, flower beds and a paved driveway providing off-road parking.
Exterior
A paved pathway leads around to the rear of the house. Immediately to the rear of the property is a rather nice Indian stone-paved patio providing a private seating area, ideal for relaxing within after a busy day. This, in turn, leads to a lawned area, bordered by herbaceous borders. There is a useful garden shed and a former garden W.C. For me, I like the privacy and seclusion of this garden as it is a great outdoor space for those who enjoy outdoor living and entertaining with friends and family.
