Summary - 117 THE DRIVE ROUNDHAY LEEDS LS8 1LJ
3 bed 1 bath House
Ideal family location near top schools and park.
South-facing larger-than-average rear garden with patio and lawn
Set on a tree-lined avenue in Roundhay, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a rare south-facing garden and generous plot — a real asset in this area. The house blends period character with modern fittings: an open-plan living/dining/kitchen with oak flooring, a gas fireplace and a bespoke shaker kitchen with built-in appliances. A driveway and single garage provide convenient parking.
The layout suits a family: two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a smaller third bedroom, and a modern Porcelanosa bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. Practical touches include a porch, under-stairs utility cupboard with plumbing, double glazing, and mains gas boiler heating. Roundhay Park, good local shops and highly regarded schools are all within easy reach, while Leeds city centre is about six miles away.
The property is freehold and sits on a decent plot with room to extend, subject to planning permission. That potential, combined with the garden and garage, will appeal to buyers seeking long-term growth or extra living space.
Buyers should note the house is from the early 20th century with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades may be advisable. The overall size is modest (approximately 749 sq ft) and there is a single family bathroom, which may be limiting for larger households. These are balanced by low local crime, excellent connectivity, and an affluent neighbourhood.
