Set on about 0.81 acres on one of North Leeds’ most desirable lanes, this substantial seven-bedroom detached house offers generous family accommodation across 7,300 sq ft. The house blends original 1900s/Georgian proportions with a recent high-spec refurbishment: a show-stopping kitchen with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors, multiple reception rooms, a one-bedroom annex and extensive private gardens with a garden room and tree house.
The layout suits a large or multigenerational household. The principal floor includes formal living and dining rooms, a study and a large kitchen/diner that opens onto the garden. Upstairs are principal and secondary suites—two large attic bedrooms have their own newly fitted en-suites and one attic bedroom measures approximately 10m x 6m and could be divided. The property also benefits from a triple garage and substantial driveway parking.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, proximity to multiple well-regarded primary and secondary schools, and easy access to Horsforth station and Leeds Bradford Airport. The property enjoyed planning permission in 2022 for a two-storey side extension (playroom/office and a walk-in wardrobe) but that permission has lapsed and would need a new application if the purchaser wishes to pursue it.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking substantial, ready-to-live-in accommodation on a large plot in a very affluent area. The recent renovation gives modern comforts throughout, yet any buyer should note the lapsed planning permission and the usual ongoing maintenance responsibilities that come with a large period home and extensive grounds.
