Summary - BUTTS GARTH HOUSE, BUTTS GARTH, LEEDS, THORNER LS14 3DA
8 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious period family home with attached three‑bed cottage and gated courtyard.
Five double bedrooms in the main house
Butts Garth House is a substantial eight-bedroom detached home in the heart of Thorner, combining period character with contemporary living across the main house and an attached three-bedroom cottage. The main house offers five double bedrooms, multiple reception rooms with traditional oak panelling and an impressive open fireplace, an open-plan kitchen opening into a garden room, a vaulted cellar and generous double garage with workshop. The self-contained cottage has its own entrance, private parking and a south-west facing garden — useful as multi-generational accommodation or for rental income.
The house sits behind electric double gates with a gated courtyard, separate office and store/WC — practical for home working. The mature, well-stocked garden is accessed directly from several reception rooms and provides extensive outside entertaining space. Heating is mains gas with a combination of underfloor heating and radiators; double glazing was installed post-2002.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold and offered chain free, with sizeable overall floor area (around 5,400 sq ft) and a large plot. Local amenities, a primary school rated Good and good road links (A64/A1(M)/A58) make this a convenient village location for families or professionals commuting to Leeds, Harrogate or York. Council tax is very expensive and local recorded crime is above average, which buyers should factor into running costs and security considerations.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, spacious family residence with the flexibility of a separate cottage — ideal for extended family or additional income — and buyers should be prepared for the ongoing costs associated with a large period property in a very affluent area.
