Rainbows, Brownies, Scouts, and Air Cadets are all within a couple of hundred metres. There's a monthly Farmers' Market, and regular Craft Fairs. Perhaps most importantly, the house is within the catchment area for the Oustanding Roundhay High School, with a good range of nearby Primary Schools.

Main House

The front door opens into a large central hall, with a broad staircase leading up to a distinctive mezzanine landing. From the hall, the main living room is made open and bright by its striking tall arch windows and corner aspect, and a large fireplace provides a focus for cosy, comfortable seating. A large ”snug” gives flexibility for a second family room or playroom, and there is a sizeable fitted office for more business-like matters, where two people can work comfortably side-by-side. The dining room is at the rear of the property, next to the large and very well-equipped fitted kitchen that includes a luxurious gas hob, two large ovens, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. The kitchen also has plenty of space for a breakfast or more casual dining table. The ground floor benefits from the convenience of a WC.

Upstairs, rooms are arranged around the landing balcony. The spacious master bedroom includes a built-in dressing table complete with sink, with a view over the garden and trees. The family bathroom is tiled throughout, with a large separate shower, heated towel rail/radiator, and even a TV built in to the bath (for series-binging while you bathe!). The second bedroom has built-in storage, and like the third bedroom is comfortably suitable for double room. The fourth bedroom is also a good size, and looks over the rear garden/patio.

Annex

Whether you need the space for guests, or to give older or younger relatives some independence while still having the support of their family, the impeccable ground floor annex is a fantastic addition to the original house. Accessed by its own front door, or by a connecting door through the snug of the main house, this annex is a home within a home. It has a large and well-equipped kitchen, with an electric hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, and washing machine. The living room is cosy and self-contained, with lots of outside light. At the rear of the annex there is the bathroom, and next to it a double bedroom with plenty of space for cupboards, drawers, and dressing table.

Please note: To minimise disruption to the annex's current resident, we will not be offering viewing within the annex on the Launch Day (25th of April). For viewers that are seriously interested in the property once they have viewed the main house, we will arrange subsequent opportunities to view the annex at a time that is sensitive to the current resident.

Outside the garden has lots of space, and the substantial drive allows for a number of vehicles to be parked comfortably. The double garage benefits from electrical power, and there is also a garden shed also with light and power sockets. Main house and annex both have (separate) alarm systems.
