A Substantial Late Victorian Family Home in a Prime Conservation Area – Oak Road, Potternewton, Leeds

Nestled on the picturesque and tree-lined Oak Road within the desirable Potternewton Conservation Area, this generously proportioned late Victorian semi-detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home that has been in the same ownership for over 40 years. With its elegant architecture, high ceilings, period features, and spacious accommodation spread over three floors plus a full footprint cellar, the property offers the perfect canvas for sympathetic modernisation.

Ideally located, the home benefits from excellent transport links to Leeds city centre and surrounding areas, falls within catchment for several highly regarded schools, and is just moments from the vibrant Chapel Allerton with its eclectic mix of restaurants, cafés, bars, independent shops, and everyday amenities.
