This chain-free, two-bedroom upper-floor apartment in LS16 offers a straightforward entry into north Leeds ownership. At around 617 sq ft the layout is traditional and practical, with a light living room that opens onto a balcony and a separate kitchen with integral appliances. A private garage adds useful off-street parking and storage — a rare plus for apartment living.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and is brick-built with filled cavity walls and double glazing; heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. The long lease (c. 959 years) removes a common leasehold concern. The service charge is c. £1,512 per year and council tax is described as affordable — important running costs to factor into monthly budgets.
Adel and the surrounding area are very affluent and well served for schools, shops and leisure — good for commuters and families. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent. The property presents as well-maintained but is of post‑war construction and may benefit from cosmetic updating to reflect modern tastes.
Suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, this apartment offers low-maintenance living with immediate convenience to local amenities, good transport links and green spaces nearby. Be aware of the single bathroom and typical mid‑late 20th-century fittings; budget for any desired kitchen or bathroom modernisation.
