Summary - The Hollies Lodge, Weetwood Lane LS16 5NZ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Restored character with open-plan living and private garden, ideal for families.
Detached Victorian gatehouse built in 1864, full sympathetic renovation
Originally the 1864 gatehouse to the grand Hollies Mansion, this detached four-bedroom house blends Victorian character with comprehensive contemporary renovation. Architect-led works returned the interior to brick in 2012, and more recent upgrades include a new roof, repointing in lime mortar, a new boiler and modern double glazing to one bedroom. The result is striking period detail—sash windows, original doors and bespoke architrave—paired with good insulation and updated services.
The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen and dining space with integrated Neff and Siemens appliances, a central island and full-width bifold doors that open onto a private patio and garden. A separate utility, guest cloakroom and a cosy reception room with bespoke panelling and a Burley wood-burning stove add practical family living and character. The driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and there are two external storage rooms.
Upstairs the master suite includes a walk-through wardrobe and a well-appointed en-suite; the family bathroom features high-quality Porcelanosa tiling and a freestanding bath. Vaulted ceilings and Velux windows add natural light and a sense of space to the upper floor. The property sits close to Meanwood Park, good schools including The Grammar School at Leeds, and local amenities, making it well suited to families wanting a stylish, spacious home near green space.
Practical considerations: the EPC rating is D and council tax is above average, reflecting the size and age of the property. The house sits in a mixed local context (noted for student and retirement classifications nearby), which brings vibrancy but may not suit buyers seeking a uniformly suburban setting. Overall, this is a rare, well-renovated period house offering character, modern comfort and strong family-oriented layout.
