4 bed detached house for sale

5 Whitechapel Close, Leeds LS8

If you go down to Oakwood today, you're sure of a big surprise! This wonderful four-bedroom family home sits in a sunny clearing in the trees behind Oakwood Corner, in an increasingly popular part of North Leeds' most desirable area.

There can't be many places with a Primary School, Post Office, Library, Nursery, and bus stops, all within 400 metres of your front door. But there are also the nearby cafes, restaurants and bars of Oakwood, the wonderful open spaces of Roundhay Park, and the exceptional Roundhay High School that are all within a short walk. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac (that you've probably never even noticed) so there's no passing traffic to prevent you from enjoying the well-sized garden, and if the kids need a little more space for bigger games then there's a path through the trees to the nearby public field where they can exhaust themselves safely.

There's a generous lawn and driveway to the front, with plenty of room off-road for a car and easy access to the large garage; your guests will always find on-street parking easy on this quiet street.

From the front door the entrance hall leads to a large, bright, L-shaped living room, with a cosy log burner, full length bay window, and patio doors to the back garden. The dining room also has full length windows, giving wonderful garden views while you eat. The fitted kitchen looks onto the back garden, and has a breakfast bar and stools, with the convenience of an adjacent utility room with lots of room for washing & drying.

Moving up the stairs, another full-length south-facing hall window makes the landing bright and airy. The well-sized main bedroom has large built-in cupboards, and an en-suite bathroom, and its large picture window looks out on to the back garden. The second double bedroom is also at the rear of the house with a garden view, and there are two more bedrooms, all served by a convenient family bathroom.

There's excellent storage throughout the house, with easily-accessible generous cupboards in the hallways on both floors (as well as the built in cupboards in three of the bedrooms). A hatch gives access to the insulated loft, and of course the large garage has plenty of space for a car, bicycles, lawnmowers, and much more.

This is an amazing opportunity to make your family home in the heart of the sort of community you don't find very often, and is definitely worth viewing in person.
