Summary - GLEBE HOUSE GLEBE LANE KNOTTINGLEY WF11 8ET
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Generous rooms, sunny garden and versatile garage annexe for remote working.
Five double bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities
This roomy five-bedroom detached house sits on a large corner plot and offers genuine space for a growing household. Ground floor living is flexible: a large rear lounge with glazed doors, an open-plan kitchen/dining area opening onto a sunny south-facing patio, plus an exceptionally spacious additional reception room and separate study. The double garage includes a separate room above, useful as an office, gym or potential annexe.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and an en-suite, and a second bedroom also has en-suite facilities — helpful for guests or older children. Three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfortable sleeping arrangements. Practical features include a utility room, downstairs WC, modern kitchen units, double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
There are clear downsides to note. The house was constructed in the 1950–1966 period and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so further energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, possible rewiring or modernisation) may be needed to reduce running costs. Council tax is described as expensive. The wider area scores high for crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers.
For buyers who value generous internal proportions, outdoor space and a flexible garage annexe potential, this property presents strong living possibilities. Families will appreciate proximity to several local schools including two rated Outstanding, while remote workers will find the garage room and excellent broadband/mobile connectivity particularly useful. Budget for energy improvements and consider the local social and safety context when viewing.
