A substantial Victorian semi-detached house offering five large bedrooms and generous reception rooms across three floors. The property keeps strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows and original detailing — while also benefiting from modern upgrades such as double glazing, added insulation and a biomass boiler that improves efficiency.
The layout suits a growing family requiring space and storage: two large reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with Aga, utility/boot room, sizeable cellar and a double garage with a separate garden studio. Mature, well-planted front gardens provide privacy, and off-street parking is available on a quiet private drive just off Harrogate Road with good rail and road links nearby.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks honestly: there is a single family bathroom for five bedrooms, the wider neighbourhood records higher crime and significant area deprivation, and council tax sits at Band E (above average). The house has been improved but still offers scope for further modernisation to adapt rooms and services to contemporary family life.
Viewing is essential to appreciate the scale, period detail and garden setting. The property will appeal most to families seeking roomy accommodation with character and good transport access between Leeds and Bradford, and to buyers prepared to invest further to tailor the home to their needs.
