The layout includes a lounge with fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen with side access and a rear shower room; the house is complemented by off-street parking and a recently re-done roof.
Practical features include PVCu double glazing, a good-sized rear garden laid out on two levels and gas central heating with boiler and radiators.

Council tax is very cheap, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
There are clear improvement opportunities: the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, glazing install dates are unknown, and the home will benefit from general modernisation to kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. The local area is lively with strong amenities in Chapel Allerton, good primary and secondary schools nearby, and easy transport links into Leeds city centre.
Important considerations: the wider neighbourhood scores as very deprived with above-average crime — buyers should weigh local community factors and security.
