4 bed detached house for sale

8 High Ash Drive, Leeds LS17

In an amazing position in this very popular area, it doesn't take much to appreciate why this family home has been so well-loved. It has one of the largest plots in the area, an aspect that floods the conservatory with afternoon and evening sun, and a wonderful view out to a sheltering patch of evergreen woodland beyond the end of the large garden.

The High Ash area is incredibly popular with families. There are Outstanding Primary Schools within walking distance, and the house is within the Zone 1 catchment area for the Outstanding Allerton High; alternatively, The Grammar School At Leeds (gsal) is a few minutes' walk away, or Gateways School is a mere ten minute drive. Despite being in a very quiet suburb, with little passing traffic, the house is close to the Leeds Ring Road, A61, A64, and not far from the M1/A1 so transport links are good in all directions. There is even a nearby bus stop to take you straight to Vicar Lane in central Leeds!.

The house is entered through from the paved driveway through a large glass porch/sunroom that makes for a bright welcome. The hallway leads through to the main living room where sofas sit comfortably around the fireplace. Alternatively you can stroll straight into the wonderful conservatory, large enough for dining at table or lounging in comfort, and perfectly-aligned to catch the afternoon and evening sun. It is a great space for self-indulgent quiet, or for welcoming and entertaining a generous number of guests. Looking out from the conservatory into the long garden, the mature planting and pine woods beyond are lovely all year round, and a large patio area gives another choice for sitting in the sun.

The kitchen is a good size, with space for a breakfast table as well as plenty of room for food preparation and storage. There's a built-in oven and hob, with a cleverly-raised dishwasher that avoids having to bend down to empty and load. A utility area gives flexibility in terms of space usage (and another porch area at the side of the house/garage means that muddy boots & outdoor gear can be kept safely out of the way rather than traipsed through the house!). A downstairs WC, large storage cupboards, and the sizeable garage completes the practical aspects of the ground floor.

Moving up from the main hallway, another large window means the staircase and landing are also bright as you reach the bedrooms. The house has two large bedrooms (one with a convenient large en-suite) and two smaller bedrooms; all have lots of built-in storage. In fact, one of the smaller bedrooms has been fitted for use as an office, but features a cunningly-concealed ”pull-down” bed hidden in its cupboards! There is also a main family bathroom on this floor, fully-tiled with a large bath, shower, and toilet.

The area gives all the benefits of city living (in terms of access to Leeds' myriad international cultural choices) but sits right on the edge of the countryside, whether you choose to walk or cycle out to nearby Eccup & Harewood or to drive a little further into the nearby Dales. There is a Post Office and small supermarket within easy walking distance. The noted Wigton Moor Junior afc is based in the nearby recreation ground, with girls and boys teams from 4-18 years. There is rugby and cricket nearby, and more golf courses than you can shake a club at.
