Brookfield Road, Headingley, Leeds, LS6

A WONDERFUL LATE VICTORIAN THREE DOUBLE BED, TWO BATH END TERRACE HOUSE located on the Headingley/Meanwood border and presented to the market with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN. Freehold. Council Tax Band D.

GENERAL
Arranged over four floors and packed with period features, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a substantial home on a sought after street close to both Headingley and Meanwood’s amenities. The property is currently let (and has been for many years) but will be empty at the end of September. In recent years our sellers have made significant improvements to the property including a new gas central heating Worcester boiler (fitted in 2022), the installation of hardwood double glazed SASH windows, roof insulation, smart TRVs on radiators, upgraded electrics, hard wired smoke alarms and draught proofing through the installation of new internal doors. The ground floor comprises two reception rooms and an entrance hallway which gives access to both the front and rear gardens. On the lower ground floor is a generous breakfast kitchen and a separate utility/store room. There is a double bedroom, large bathroom and guest WC on the first floor; with two further double bedrooms and another bathroom on the second floor. At the front is a pretty garden bordered by a brick wall and a gate onto Brookfield Road, where there is ample unrestricted on-street car parking. The rear garden is currently open plan with the neighbouring house, although the boundary runs parallel with the party wall of next door and the garden can be enclosed if preferred. For a property of this era, this is a sizeable garden plot that extends to the boundary of the Meanwood Valley Trail. On the market for the first time in almost 25 years, ‘Glenwood’ is a charming house and an early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the well-proportioned accommodation that this property has to offer.

There are well-regarded primary schools in the area, and the open spaces of Meanwood Park, Meanwood Valley Trail, Beckett Park and Woodhouse Ridge are all on the doorstep.

The rear garden is currently open plan with the neighbouring house (as it has been for many years) however, the boundary runs parallel to the party wall so could be partitioned off if preferred. This very generous and long garden runs to the boundary line of the Meanwood Valley Trail and features a wonderful mix of lawn, patio and mature trees. There are steps down from the rear entrance door and steps up from the lower ground floor breakfast kitchen, making this a gem of a garden and very family-friendly.

ARCHITECT DRAWINGS
Our sellers had plans drawn up to create a four bed, four-bath house by returning the family bathroom on the first floor to a double bedroom. Three of the bedrooms would have en suite shower rooms and there would still be a house bathroom and guest WC. We are happy to share these plans on request.
