Summary - 24 ELMETE AVENUE LEEDS LS8 2QN
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Six double bedrooms plus cinema room and three reception rooms
Built in 1904 and retaining generous Edwardian proportions, this six-bedroom detached home on Elmete Avenue sits within a top school catchment and moments from Roundhay Park. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces give authentic period character while the open-plan kitchen-diner, exposed stone wall and AGA introduce contemporary, family-focused living. A dedicated cinema room and three reception rooms provide flexible space for family life and entertaining.
The plot is a major asset: an expansive rear garden with two decking areas, patio and extensive lawn offers excellent scope for outdoor living, play and future landscaping. Practical features include a useful cellar for storage and a new high-capacity combi boiler with integrated hot water buffer to serve both bathrooms reliably. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong, supporting home working and modern family needs.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property has only two bathrooms for six bedrooms which may limit morning routines without reconfiguration. The original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance and heating costs may be higher unless upgraded. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area data flags higher deprivation despite a highly qualified local population; crime is average.
This house will suit growing families who value space, schools and park proximity, and buyers prepared to invest modestly in thermal improvements or additional bathrooms to fully modernise the home. For those seeking a rare, substantial Edwardian detached with period detail and a very large garden in Roundhay, this property offers clear long-term appeal.
