Greycourt, Gledhow Lane, Roundhay, Leeds

Greycourt is a unique unlisted single storey residence of significant architectural interest, built circa 1920. It sits in mature and peaceful grounds. The property was divided into two separate dwellings in the 1950s and No 2 commands a spacious 1717sqft / 159.5m2 spanning two thirds of the front of the building, the left hand side, and one third to the rear. It stands within substantial gardens set back with access to both Gledhow Lane and Lidgett Lane. Although now requiring modernisation the property offers lots of scope and potential for buyers of all ages to update and even remodel the interior to suit their own tastes and requirements. No onward chain.

The internal accommodation has good size rooms with high ceilings and the layout could readily be reconfigured. Currently an entrance hall is accessed from the front of the building. Off the hallway to the left is a large triple aspect reception room which overlooks the gardens to the front and side, whilst to the right is a versatile room which has been used by the current family at different times as both a reception room and a bedroom, with double doors overlooking the terrace to the front. Through this is another versatile room which over the years has been used as both a bedroom and a study. A central hallway has walk-in storage and leads to the kitchen, (agent's note: access to the kitchen from the garden is via a concrete and glass structure whose westerly aspect is semi open to the elements), a large double bedroom with double aspect to both the side and rear, and a bathroom with walk-through storage/dressing room.

The property is reached via a shared drive off Gledhow Lane with gateposts denoting 'Greycourt'. There is a semi detached garage. There is additional parking on a sole-use driveway on the southern border of the garden, to the left of the shared drive. The grounds are mature and include a lawn to the front of the house with a sunny south facing raised terrace, a substantial side garden with mature trees and shrubbery, with a pedestrian access gate to the side onto Lidgett Lane.

The property is within easy walking distance of popular schools including Roundhay High School, and local facilities on Lidgett Lane, and within convenient access of more extensive amenities on Oakwood Parade, Street Lane, Moortown Corner and the cosmopolitan ‘village’ of Chapel Allerton. Leafy Gledhow Valley Woods are close by, offering walks and a small lake. Roundhay Park also offers many recreational amenities including parkland walks, the boating lake, the sweeping lawns and sports grounds on Soldiers Field, pretty Canal Gardens and Tropical World which is a particularly popular attraction with children. Public transport services are available which provide access to the city centre and surrounding areas.
