House For Sale £1,125,000
Occupying an elevated position with an open outlook on Ancaster Road in sought-after West Park, this wonderful detached family home offers space, style, character and a good degree of privacy. This popular area allows easy access to Leeds city centre whilst having the trappings of ‘village’ life - good schools, parks and open space, local cafes and restaurants - as well as being close to smart urban hotspots such as Headingley and Meanwood. With 3000 square feet of living accommodation, you will struggle to find a better family home so central to Leeds.
The house dates from 1910 and contains Arts and Crafts features including a wonderful veranda to the front, numerous feature fire surrounds and leaded windows. It was built to maximise sunlight with its two main elevations facing south-east and south-west. It has recently been extended and redeveloped in a contemporary style to provide an east wing containing an extended kitchen diner, a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, and a pottery studio/home office, all of which open directly on to the recently landscaped garden. Altogether, the residence comprises a six bedroom, three bathroom, four reception room family home flanked by sunny gardens which are larger than average, for West Park.
The house offers a high degree of flexibility. The self-contained annexe has its own kitchen and bathroom facilities and independent access, offering a level of independence seldom available in a conventional house. An internal link from the annexe to the main house means these rooms could simply be used as extra space for the main house, if required. Further, the arrangement of bedrooms in the main house would lend themselves to the creation of a wonderful master suite (bedroom, dressing room and large en-suite).
The studio/office has independent access from the garden, although it’s position adjacent to the annexe means it could easily be incorporated to create a larger unit if desired.
A gated access leads into the garden from Ancaster Road providing secure off-street parking.
This sought-after location is as good as it gets for excellent schooling, local amenities, and convenient access to the universities. You are a short walk to West Park and Headingley’s array of shops and eateries, the Village hotel/ gym, the independent Richmond House School and the coveted Weetwood and St. Chad’s Primary Schools. The Hollies, Beckett Park and Meanwood Park are all on your doorstep, making it a convenient and practical location to call home.
Plans have been drawn and authorised to convert the loft to provide a master suite with dormer window to the rear and roof windows to the front enjoying expansive views across Leeds (drawings available on request).
This impressive house benefits from a new roof and boiler, full re-wire throughout, wet underfloor heating in the extension/annexe, electric underfloor heating in the house bathroom and quality Crittal style aluminium windows and doors in the extension/ annexe.
The beautifully landscaped gardens flank the property to two sides and are bound by tall hedging offering a high degree of privacy. They contain lawned and hard-paved areas, a pond, an orchard, and a prairie garden. Twin sheds provide ample storage.
Key features include:
• Oak panelled entrance hall, creating the perfect first impression.
• Ground floor W.C with utility space.
• Spacious Drawing room with dual aspect windows and feature wood-burning stove.
• Library which is an impressive reception room flooded with natural light and incorporating a multi-fuel stove.
• Spacious kitchen diner which has been recently extended with wood-burning stove and double doors out to the gardens.
• To the first floor there is a beautiful galleried landing with large decorative feature window.
• Five double bedrooms with the master having an ensuite shower room.
• Ground floor annexe, featuring a spacious double bedroom with double doors to the landscaped gardens.
• Studio/ Office; Currently a pottery studio but could serve myriad purposes. An ideal space for those working from home, looking for seclusion.
