4 bed detached house for sale

Oxford Avenue, Guiseley, Leeds LS20

A captivating and individually designed 1930's detached family home situated in an elevated position with commanding views across the valley. Built originally by the Moon family, this wonderful home offers spacious family living with a blend of both period and modern finishes. Boasting four bedrooms, house bathroom plus en suite, study, two spacious reception rooms, conservatory, guest W.C., and a spacious kitchen diner. The large plot offers ample driveway parking, garage store, bar, and landscaped gardens to the rear.

This commanding 1930s detached family home, fondly known as “Hillside”, occupies an enviable elevated position with far-reaching, panoramic views across the valley. At the time of its construction, it was the only residence at the top of Oxford Avenue, giving it a unique sense of prominence and history. Originally built by the Moon family, who operated a nearby fabric mill and is still in operation today, the property beautifully combines its rich heritage with carefully considered modern living.

This impressive home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, ideal for growing families and those who enjoy entertaining. The welcoming entrance begins in a charming porch where the original stained glass entrance door and floor tiles remain making a lovely feature, leading through to a notably wide entrance hallway. The sense of space is immediate, further enhanced by a staircase that is wider than typical of the era, creating a real feeling of arrival.

The principal reception rooms are positioned to the front of the property, where large windows, complemented by characterful side windows set within recessed alcoves, have been thoughtfully designed to fully capture the stunning outlook. These rooms are flooded with natural light and retain a number of original features, including beautiful stained glass windows that add both charm and character.

To the rear, the home continues to impress with a spacious kitchen diner forming the heart of the house, with large central island and impressive bi-folding doors, alongside a delightful conservatory that enjoys views over the garden, and a guest W.C. Completes the ground floor.

To the first floor, a spacious landing enhances the sense of openness, featuring a charming window seat that overlooks the rear garden. There is also a dedicated office space, perfectly suited to those working from home. The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including two particularly generous front-facing double bedrooms, both benefitting from those far-reaching valley views and fitted with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is further enhanced by en suite facilities, while a stylish house bathroom complete with a Victorian style bath and separate shower cubicle serves the remaining rooms.

Externally, the property occupies a substantial and well-balanced plot. A long driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a garage store, while there is additional space to the side of the property offering potential for a further driveway if desired. The rear garden is a true highlight - beautifully maintained and thoughtfully landscaped, with lush lawns, well-stocked borders, and a variety of patio areas designed to follow the sun throughout the day and into the evening. Enhancing the overall appeal is a superb garden bar, complete with lighting, power, fitted cabinetry, and a fridge, perfectly equipped for hosting and social occasions, and adding a unique and versatile element to this already impressive outdoor setting.

“Hillside” represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character, historical significance, and generous proportions, all set within a highly desirable and elevated position.

The property benefits from excellent access to the heart of Guiseley with its many shops, bars, restaurants, and popular golf courses. Within close proximity and perfectly situated for those who commute by train is the railway station which provides links to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, whilst for those travelling further afield, Leeds and Bradford International Airport is situated close by in nearby Yeadon. A short drive away and appealing to those who partake in outdoor pursuits there is a variety of open countryside, including moors, open fields, farmland and countryside.
