Summary - 17 Cookridge Drive, LEEDS LS16 7LS
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Single-storey home with large garden, driveway and strong renovation potential.
Two good‑sized double bedrooms with bay window to front
Large plot with front and rear gardens, summer house present
Driveway provides off‑street parking for two family cars
Living room with patio doors to the rear garden
Requires full modernisation and cosmetic updating throughout
EPC rating E; likely need for improved insulation and upgrades
Cavity walls assumed without insulation (may affect heating costs)
Quiet, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
This semi‑detached, single‑storey home offers straightforward living on a large suburban plot in LS16. The layout includes an entrance hall, flexible dining room/study (potential third bedroom), living room with patio doors, kitchen, two good‑sized double bedrooms and a shower room. A bay window to the front and rear garden access add light and outdoor flow.
The property requires modernisation throughout, making it a clear project for buyers wanting to add value or personalise a long‑term home. Notable practical strengths are a private driveway for two cars, a summer house/garden shed, cavity walls (assumed) and mains gas central heating. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Location is convenient for local shops, bus routes and well‑regarded schools, with Horsforth station and Leeds city access a short drive away. Low local crime and an affluent, ageing‑in‑suburbia community make this especially suitable for downsizers seeking a single‑storey house they can update, or investors targeting rental demand.
Be aware of clear shortcomings: the property needs general updating; the EPC is rated E and there’s assumed lack of wall insulation, which may require investment. The front garden is overgrown and interior décor and some fittings are dated. Early internal inspection is recommended to assess scope and costs before committing.
