House For Sale £525,000
A CHARACTERFUL & SUBSTANTIAL SIX BED, THREE-BATH SEMI in Far Headingley; with a wealth of period features and boasting one of the largest rear gardens for the area. Freehold. Council Tax Band E. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
GENERAL
With approx. 2000 square feet of accommodation, over three floors, and located in a prime residential area, this late Edwardian semi is bursting with original period features and well-proportioned rooms. Having been let out for several years, this is now a great opportunity for owner-occupiers to create a wonderful family home which benefits from a larger than average rear garden plot. Comprising: entrance lobby and hall, living room with bay window, dining room, separate dual aspect breakfast kitchen, utility area and shower room to the ground floor. On the first floor are three double bedrooms (one with an en suite bathroom), a large single bedroom/home office, a guest WC and a separate shower room. On the second floor are two double bedrooms (with the rear bedroom having an original dormer window overlooking the garden) and a large built in cupboard (ideal for storage or as a fitted wardrobe to one of the bedrooms). There are gardens to the front and rear, with the enclosed rear garden facing south and enjoying a larger than average plot size for the area. Driveway parking, gas central heating and uPVC double-glazing. This is a true three-storey house, with an original staircase running through, and a nod to the past in the form of the original servants’ call box located in the kitchen. AN INTERNAL VIEWING IS ESSENTIAL TO FULLY APPRECIATE THIS CHARMING PERIOD PROPERTY.

GROUND FLOOR
LOBBY
With an original tiled floor and handy for the removal of shoes etc. Leading to…
ENTRANCE HALL
A welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the upper floors, and giving access to the living room, dining room and kitchen. The original wood door has been retained, with glass panels to the upper and lower sections.

DINING ROOM
Located at the rear of the property with a door out into the rear garden, and packed with original features including exposed floorboards, panelled walls, deep curved cornice with picture rails and a wonderful fireplace with tiled insert and an ornate wood surround with built in mirror and hearth trim.
BREAKFAST KITCHEN
A very generous breakfast kitchen with a range of wall and base units incorporating an electric oven and hob, plumbing for a dishwasher and a stainless steel sink with mixer tap. There is floor space set within the chimneybreast recess for an upright fridge and freezer - this space would most likely accommodate a large American style fridge/freezer if desired. New vinyl flooring and a wall mounted gas central heating boiler. This is a light and airy dual aspect room, with a large portrait window overlooking the rear garden and a bow bay window to the side elevation. There is ample floor space to accommodate a large table and chairs. The original servants’ callbox remains and gives a nod to the past. Leading to…
UTILITY AREA
With a door out to the side and a tiled floor, this room has plumbing for a washing machine and floor space for a tumble drier. Leading to…

FIRST FLOOR
LANDING
Giving access to the first floor bedrooms, shower room and guest WC. Stairs rising to the second floor.
BEDROOM ONE (DOUBLE)
Located at the rear of the property, this room has a built in cupboard, original stepped cornice (some of which curves around the window area) and stripped and varnished window casement. Leading to…
EN SUITE BATHROOM
This spacious en suite has the benefit of a window with privacy glass and a stripped and varnished window casement. Buyers may wish to upgrade the fixtures and fittings to their own tastes, but currently there is a bath with an over bath electric shower, full wall tiling and a washbasin.
BEDROOM TWO (DOUBLE)
Located at the front of the property, this is a large double bedroom with original period cornice and a furniture friendly footprint.
BEDROOM THREE (DOUBLE)
Located at the rear of the property, this bedroom has an original fitted wardrobe, original period stepped cornice and a window on the side elevation.
BEDROOM FOUR (LARGE SINGLE)
Located at the front of the property, this large single bedroom would also make a very comfortable (and generous) home office/workspace.
SHOWER ROOM
Comprising a fully tiled shower cubicle, low level WC and pedestal washbasin. New vinyl flooring and partial wall tiling. There is a window to the side elevation fitted with privacy glass.
GUEST WC
Comprising a low level WC, new vinyl flooring and a window to the side elevation fitted with privacy glass.
SECOND FLOOR
BEDROOM FIVE (DOUBLE)
Located at the rear of the property, this room has an original dormer window overlooking the rear garden. We believe there is scope to increase the size of this dormer window to the width of this room (subject to consents); as many houses in the immediate area already have.
BEDROOM SIX (DOUBLE)
Positioned at the front of the house, this room has a Velux window.
OUTSIDE
There is a small garden at the front with hedges and shrubs bordering the perimeter boundaries and a paved path to the front door. A paved driveway extends the length of the property and provides off road parking for three cars. The driveway leads to the large rear south facing garden, which is a pleasant mix of paved, lawn and wooded areas. This is a larger than average garden for this location and there is scope for the next owner to enhance this plot further – which may or may not involve bringing the defunct ornamental pond back to life! There is obvious scope to extend the property at the rear (subject to consents) and still have a decent sized rear garden on completion. Church Wood Avenue is resident permit parking.
