House For Sale £250,000
A UNIQUE & CHARACTERFUL TWO BED, TWO BATH VICTORIAN COTTAGE in the Headingley Hill Conservation Area. Freehold. Council Tax Band A. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
GENERAL
This is a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer to purchase a very special property in a much-favoured Headingley location. The property is set over three floors, and offers flexible living accommodation, which could be configured in a number of ways to suit individual tastes.
In 2019, the property was completely renovated to include rewiring, re-plumbing, new gas central heating and anthracite radiators, new kitchen, bathrooms, the addition of a porch, and conversion of the basement – whilst still retaining the characterful touches such as exposed brickwork, timbered ceilings etc. Since owning the property, our seller has further enhanced the kitchen to include a new sink with swan-neck mixer tap, more cabinets and worktops, and the addition of a dishwasher. The shower/wet room was also refitted in 2024. All effortlessly combining period character with the ultra-modern!
In brief, the cottage comprises: a fully glazed reception area/sun room, an open plan dining kitchen, a double bedroom (currently set up as a home office) leading to a walk in en suite shower/wet room, and a second bathroom to the ground floor. The lower ground floor is currently set up as a lounge but could be a comfortable home office or second double bedroom. Above the dining kitchen is a mezzanine level, which is currently set up as a bedroom but could become the lounge.
Whilst the property is Freehold, it is set within the shared grounds of Glennan House and there is a large south facing communal garden. This location is particularly sought after by young professionals and academics, and is less than two miles from the city centre, a mile from Leeds University and within walking distance of the centre of Headingley. With such an interesting and versatile layout, an internal viewing is essential to appreciate fully all that this charming property has to offer. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Please note: the property is currently tenanted on a fixed term tenancy until 8 September 2024.
AREA
The Headingley Hill Conservation area is a much sought after north Leeds suburb located less than 2 miles from Leeds train station. The immediate area is characterised by a wealth of predominantly stone built or stone-faced villas, semis and detached properties incorporating stone boundary walls and outbuildings. For many years, this historic area has attracted families, particularly academics, wishing to enjoy the tranquillity of living in an area full of architectural detail yet still within close proximity to the city and Universities. This part of the wider Headingley & Hyde Park areas is very leafy, with lots of mature trees and well-tended private gardens rich in birds and wildlife. The area has several ginnels from a by-gone era providing pedestrian short cuts from place to place; particularly useful for accessing the open spaces of Woodhouse Ridge and the Meanwood Valley Trail. There is a diverse range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants at Hyde Park Corner. The Universities, Business School and Leeds General Infirmary are also close-by.
GROUND FLOOR
SUN ROOM
This bright and cheerful start to the cottage has lots of natural light, with the whole of the front fully glazed, including the entrance door, and overlooking the south facing communal garden. There is a large Velux skylight window which casts light all the way through to the dining kitchen. The exposed brickwork on one wall reminds you this property dates back to the Victorian era, and the lighting to the seating area along with the round steel vertical central heating radiator in anthracite provides a retro/urban feel with tones of the Industrial Revolution. There are two steps up to the dining kitchen and stairs down to the lower ground floor.
