Set on an exceptionally deep, private plot in Alwoodley, this substantial four-double-bedroom detached house offers 2,400 sq ft of family living and a rare no‑chain opportunity. The property sits behind mature hedging with a full‑width conservatory and an approximately 50‑metre south‑facing lawn, ideal for children, gardening or large‑scale landscaping and extension (subject to necessary planning permissions).
The ground floor has a flexible layout including lounge, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, downstairs WC and utility room; upstairs are four double bedrooms, a house bathroom and a separate shower room. Practical benefits include an integral double garage, in‑and‑out driveway with parking for several cars, fast broadband, mains gas central heating and double glazing installed since 2002.
There is clear scope to modernise and extend to create a bespoke family residence: many rooms are generous and the plot depth offers substantial redevelopment potential (planning not applied for). Buyers should note the property dates from the late 1960s/1970s and will benefit from updating and possible energy improvements; cavity walls are original construction (insulation assumed absent) and the exterior needs cleaning and some vegetation management.
Location strengths include low local crime, very affluent surroundings, accessible transport and excellent nearby schools (including highly rated local primaries and Grammar School At Leeds). Prospective purchasers should allow for a higher council tax band and factor any refurbishment or extension costs into their plans.
