Summary - 197, WETHERBY ROAD, LEEDS LS17 8ND
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large garden and garage, ideal for renovation-minded families near Leeds.
Chain-free three-bedroom detached house on a substantial mature plot
Set on a generous, mature plot on Wetherby Road, this three-bedroom detached house offers traditional 1930s character and clear scope for improvement. The property is chain-free and well positioned for Leeds, Wetherby and Harrogate commuting via the A58 and nearby ELOR, with a private driveway and a detached single garage.
Internally the layout is conventional and practical: bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, ground-floor WC, two double bedrooms, a single third bedroom, bathroom and an additional separate WC upstairs. Room proportions and large windows provide good natural light, but the house requires a high degree of updating throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the living room shows signs of wear; buyers should note possible localized damp and worn finishes.
Key practical facts: freehold tenure, EPC rating D, council tax Band E, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown). The property’s cavity walls are as-built with no installed insulation (assumed), so buyers considering energy improvements will find straightforward retrofit potential.
This is a project for somebody seeking a period home with a substantial garden and parking, who is prepared to carry out renovation to modernise living spaces, improve energy performance and add value. Its convenient road links, strong local schools nearby and affluent suburban setting make it suitable for families or an owner-occupier wanting long-term improvement potential.
