House For Sale £950,000
Meadowcroft lies in a serene setting within the exclusive conservation area of Sandhills, Thorner and presents a rare chance to create a bespoke home in a sought-after location. The ample space both inside and outside provides endless possibilities for personalisation and development. Boasting approximately two acres of land and nearly 6000sq ft of living space, the house features three reception rooms, each with its own unique charm including high ceilings, fireplaces, large windows, and direct access to the garden. Add to that a billiard room, sun room, conservatory and office space you will start to get a feel of the space available in this impressive residence.
But that is not all! - Meadowcroft has been extended from its original plan to include an indoor swimming pool (currently boarded over and de-commissioned) with a changing area, shower room, its own kitchen area and utility room - with some renovation this would make a fabulous space for summer parties!
The second floor benefits from four double bedrooms, the spacious master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a separate walk-in shower, whilst one of the additional bedrooms also benefits from a dressing room and a second en-suite bathroom. Outside there is ample parking, triple garaging and extensive gardens with a small woodland area with a stream within the property boundary.
Situated on the outskirts of Thorner village on the North East side of Leeds. This semi-rural location still has easy access to surrounding commercial centres including Harrogate, Wetherby and York. The area is served well with good shopping and sporting facilities together with most denominations of schools including Leeds Grammar School and is placed well to several other private educational facilities including Gateways School at Harewood and Ashville College in Harrogate. Also well placed for access to the A1M opening up the national motorway network with Leeds Bradford Airport approximately 9 miles away.
