They often say that there are 3 things that you should look for when buying your forever house...Location, location, location...This house has all 3 and with lots more wow factors too. How about a 8 metre (plus) semi-open-plan. Family/dining/kitchen? 4 rooms with those splendid bay windows? 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom? Great views and a sunny back garden? And just wait until you see the cul-de-sac!

Ladies and gentlemen...start your engines, book yourself an appointment to view, and race round to see this gem of a house, that simply shines, shines, shines. This house is certainly bound to set your pulse racing. It really did mine. If you want a nice family home, then this is definitely the house for you. I just love it. This one, believed to have been built by Lax house builders in the late 1930's, is quite a lot better than most in my opinion and has a number of wow factors waiting to be discovered. So...here we have a classic semi-detached house which has 2-storey bay windows both at the front and the rear of the house...the result...4 pleasantly proportioned rooms with characteristic features such as chimney breast recesses and those classic bay windows, allowing for maximum light and space. With such an idyllic setting, it is no surprise that homeowners have chosen to extend rather than move. This house has been extended and modernised, has an 8 metre plus, semi-open-plan family/dining/kitchen and a loft conversion too...yet the character and charm has been tastefully blended to create a feel and vision that is very much desired today. Combining calming indoor and outdoor spaces, this is an excellent home for those who enjoy entertaining both inside and out with friends and family. Nestled within a mahoosive cul-de-sac, with everything that you need on your doorstep, this is truly is a cracker of a house!

Having parked on the roadside or driveway, your guided tour starts by entering through the front door into an elegant, light, bright and airy entrance hall...what a nice start to your viewing experience. First on the left is the spacious living room...light, bright and airy, a classic bay window and a log burner. The hallway also gives access into the bay windowed family room (again with a wood burner) and is semi-open plan to a contemporary kitchen diner. At over 8 metres in length, this truly is a super family space which is ideal for entertaining with friends and family. Just off the kitchen area is a downstairs cloakroom, through which there is access to the attached garage. The first floor landing gives access to 2 spacious bay windowed double bedrooms (with privacy and nice views), a single bedroom/office and the family bathroom. The loft has been tastefully converted to form a super-sized double bedroom and a shower room. And so to the outside. There is a garden area to the front, most of which now provides off-street parking and of course, the garage. The back garden is ”family-sized” and has a perfect aspect for the best of the sunshine, right into the evening.

So...there you have it...one of Moortown's best kept secrets...not now that I have told you all about it! This is a home that you should add to the very top of your house hunting shopping list...I look forward to seeing you at the Open Day viewing event (don't forget to book your appointment, though)

Now for the amenities...Lots to choose from. Chapel Allerton is not far away. There, you have the closely guarded secret of Chapel Allerton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club. It's brilliant as it has a gym too. Don't forget about David Lloyd either. There are lots of great pubs, wine bars, coffee shops, cafes and a plethora of restaurants. Supermarkets too, 3 to choose from. You have a similar set-up at Moortown and along Street Lane, as well as everything that Meanwood has to offer, too! Leisure facilities to work off those indulgences at Golden Acre Park and don't forget the famous Roundhay Park with its twin lakes and The Canal gardens. Locally, schools cater for children of all ages. There are good public transport facilities and main roads for commuters. If you wish to travel further afield, Leeds and Bradford International Airport is a few miles away, probably about 20 minutes or so by car.

Integrated Indesit dishwasher and space for a free-standing fridge/freezer. I just love the inset sink unit with its mixer tap.

A composite double-glazed door gives access to the back garden. Pleasant views.

Garage

Exterior

Front. There is a garden area to the front of the house; the majority of which has been converted to form off-street parking.
The cul-de-sac is very much a feature of this street. The houses at the top (of which this is one) overlook a lovely grassed play area. Sometimes, there are rope swings and jumpers for goalposts...perfect for ”playing out.”

Exterior

Back. The back garden is considered to be a pleasing and beneficial feature. There is a super, private decked area (check out the photos) and a lawned area and flower beds. Being south-westerly facing, sunshine is assured and for those of you who enjoy outdoor life, this is ideal.
