Light-filled two double-bedroom apartment on the first floor, offered with a long lease (156 years) and allocated undercroft parking. The lounge/dining room looks over the valley and the kitchen and shower room are attractively fitted with neutral, modern finishes — ideal for buyers wanting a move-in-ready home or a straightforward rental let.
Practicalities are clear: PVCu double glazing, electric storage heating and a secure communal entrance with well-kept gardens. The 580 sq ft layout is compact but efficient, with a handy hallway storage cupboard and communal parking for visitors. The location is a major strength — a short walk to Headingley train station, easy road access into Leeds, and close to Kirkstall Bridge shopping and leisure amenities.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with a service charge averaging £1,272 a year, and heating is via electric storage heaters which may mean higher running costs than gas. The surrounding area has a very high recorded crime rate and is classified as deprived, which may affect suitability for some buyers or investors.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking convenient transport links, or a landlord looking for a rental near Headingley and Leeds stations. Early viewing is recommended so you can judge the neighbourhood and running costs in person.
