Summary - BOURNE HOUSE SCOTLAND LANE HORSFORTH LEEDS LS18 5SE
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare, renovated period residence with large grounds and annex potential.
Commanding Victorian detached family home on very large mature plot
Bourne House is a commanding Victorian detached home set within very large mature grounds in sought-after Horsforth. Recently renovated throughout, the house blends original period features — high ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces and Herringbone flooring — with modern fittings including a refitted Shaker-style kitchen, quartz worktops and quality bathroom fixtures. The result is an immediately liveable family home with significant versatile space across three main floors plus a loft and cellar.
The accommodation comfortably suits a growing family: four generous double bedrooms on the first floor, a substantial principal suite with luxury ensuite, and a large second-floor loft that could serve as a fifth bedroom or studio. Ground-floor living is generous and sociable, with multiple reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, utility/boot room and convenient downstairs WC. The lower-ground cellar provides useful storage and scope for conversion subject to permissions.
Outside, the property’s landscaped grounds are a major asset. A sweeping pebbled driveway behind electric sliding gates provides extensive off-street parking and security, while level lawns and sun terraces enjoy a sunny aspect. A substantial stone outbuilding currently houses garage/workshop space, a historic sauna and an upper-floor studio — useful now and offering further potential with investment and planning.
Practical considerations: the house is sold freehold and chain-free but sits in a higher council tax band, so running costs will be notable. While recently upgraded internally and externally, the outbuilding and cellar offer potential that may require additional works or permissions to fully realise. Overall, this is a rare, substantial family home in an affluent North Leeds location close to good schools, green spaces and strong commuter links.
