3 bed detached house for sale

Manston Gardens, Leeds LS15

Ref: PN1310

Opportunities like this one are rare, and buyers who know Cross Gates well will understand immediately why. 37 Manston Gardens is a three-bedroom detached home that has been in the same family for many years, loved and lived in throughout, and is now being offered to the market for the first time in a very long time. Properties of this type, on this street, do not come up often. When they do, the right buyer moves quickly.

From the outside, the property presents beautifully. A traditional brick and render facade, a neat front garden, and a private driveway giving the home a presence on the street that any buyer would be proud of. The plot is generous, with a good-sized rear garden that lends itself naturally to a rear extension, giving whoever buys this home the opportunity to create something significantly larger than what currently exists, subject to the usual planning consents.

Inside, the property requires full renovation throughout. This is not something to gloss over, and it is priced to reflect it. But for the right buyer, that is precisely the point. Rather than inheriting someone else's kitchen, someone else's bathroom, and someone else's choices throughout, you are being handed a completely blank canvas in a location that people actively seek out. Every room, every finish, every detail, entirely yours from the start.

Step outside the front door and Manston Park is directly opposite. A genuine green lung in the heart of Cross Gates, it is the kind of asset that residents here quietly treasure, whether it is a morning walk with the dog, an afternoon with the children, or simply the pleasure of looking out at open space rather than another row of houses. It is the sort of thing that rarely appears on a floor plan but makes an enormous difference to how a home feels to live in every single day.

The wider location needs little introduction to anyone familiar with east Leeds. Cross Gates offers excellent schools, a strong community feel, Cross Gates Shopping Centre, The Springs retail and leisure park at Thorpe Park, and outstanding transport connections including Cross Gates train station and swift access to the M1 at Junction 46. This is a location that buyers work hard to get into, and a street that they tend to stay on once they arrive.

For a buyer with vision, the right budget, and an appetite to create something genuinely special, this is the one. Viewing is essential.
