Larkfield Grange, Larkfield Road, Rawdon, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS19

A magnificent and charming family home nestled in a prestigious, tucked-away private location in central Rawdon, boasting far-reaching views and offering over 4,000 sq. Ft. Of unique and versatile living space. This exceptional property must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Contact EweMove 24/7 to arrange your viewing.

The original stone-built section of this characterful home, complete with period features, dates back to the mid-17th century and was once the only building in the area, surrounded by open fields. Over time, the property has been extended several times to create the delightful, well-maintained home we see today, offering all the modern comforts expected in a home of this calibre.

The property is hidden away down a long private driveway, providing a true sense of exclusivity and leading to the rear of the house. The generous driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, while your prized possession can be securely parked in the integral double garage.

A standout feature of the property is the magnificent living/dining room, constructed in the 1940s. It boasts a vaulted ceiling with ornate mouldings, parquet flooring, and a multi-fuel stove set within a stone fireplace. Patio doors lead directly onto a large terrace, making it a perfect space for entertaining family and friends.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with an adjacent utility, centres around a stunning four-oven gas aga, set within handcrafted solid wood cabinetry and finished with contrasting granite worktops. An integrated dishwasher adds convenience. There is ample space for a dining table for informal meals, and bi-folding aluminium doors open directly onto the south-facing terrace.

The four reception rooms are versatile and can be adapted to suit individual needs. The family room, incorporating original stonework and a multi-fuel stove, has previously served as a games room. Beyond the guest WC is an additional integral single garage, providing yet more storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy sitting room with a contemporary living flame gas fire, which could also be used as a formal dining room or even potentially combined with the breakfast kitchen subject to building regulations approval. The spacious home office, overlooking the garden, is an ideal work-from-home space but could just as easily function as a playroom or snug.

The basement features a wine cellar, complete with an original stone table, ideal for keeping your collection cool.

From the central hallway, laid with beautiful stone flags, we ascend to the first floor. The main bedroom enjoys far-reaching views and features a wall of built-in wardrobes, along with a stylish en-suite wet room. Bedroom two also includes an impressive range of wardrobes and benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom three offers lovely views and has use of the spacious family bathroom.

On the second floor is the expansive fourth bedroom, showcasing charming timber beams and an ensuite shower room. This generously sized space offers excellent versatility and can easily be subdivided if required.

Moving outside, the wrap-around garden features a large Indian Stone terrace on the south side, with direct access from the kitchen, living/dining room, and hallway — perfect for entertaining. Extensive lawned areas lie to both the front and rear, while a gated driveway offers ample space for parking, play, and outdoor enjoyment for children and grown-up kids alike.
