Set within the Grade II listed ‘Redhill’, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with practical living in central Headingley. The apartment retains original features — panelled doors, leaded windows and fireplaces — while offering gas central heating, a modern bathroom and use of well-kept communal gardens. A single garage (en bloc) and unrestricted on-street parking add practical convenience.
The home is well placed for Otley Road amenities, public transport and nearby green spaces such as Meanwood Valley Trail and Woodhouse Ridge. The long lease (999 years from 1978), nil ground rent and no onward chain make the tenure straightforward for buyers seeking security in a historic setting. Service charge is £1,803 for 2025, collected monthly at approx. £150.25.
There is scope to refresh the interior: neutral décor throughout provides a blank canvas, but some areas show wear and dated fittings — stained carpet in the sitting room and generally tired finishes. As a listed building, alterations will be restricted and require consent, which may limit major refurbishment plans. Prospective buyers should note an above-average local crime rate and the listed status when considering renovation and investment potential.
For first-time buyers or those seeking a characterful Headingley base close to shops, cafés and transport links, this apartment offers a rare combination of period charm, long lease security and immediate availability. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, scale and setting within the historic Redhill.
