They often say that there are 3 things that you should look for when buying your forever house...Location, location, location...This house has all 3 and with lots more wow factors too. How about a 5 metre (plus) open plan dining/kitchen and mahoosive gardens to 3 sides, located at the head of a cul-de-sac and with a secret access to a little-known backwater lane...how intriguing!

So, ladies and gents, if you read the sales brochure, you will soon discover that there is a lot more to this house than meets the eye, that's for sure! I was amazed by how much space there is! With sizeable, versatile family accommodation arranged over 3 floors (4 if you include the loft) an open plan kitchen diner and with a detached office/garden room set in sizeable gardens to 3 sides...there is excellent potential to extend outwards, backwards and up. There can't be many houses that provide this much space with sizeable private (not overlooked) gardens, for the money! At over 1,600 square feet (including the loft space), it is bigger than some detached houses! How good is that? So when it comes to houses, size does matter, and in this case, big is beautiful.

Having parked on the roadside or the wide driveway at the front, there are a few steps at the front of the house that will take you into the entrance hall. First on the left is the living room, which has a lovely tiled fireplace and an open fire and of course the bay window. The open-plan kitchen-diner is at the back, enjoys lovely private woodland views and has a side access onto a substantial timber decked area attached to the side of the house. Upstairs, there are 2 good-sized double bedrooms which enjoy privacy, a single bedroom and the bathroom. There is excellent potential to extend up into the loft from the landing...ask me how, later. What makes this house quite unique is that the back of the house is at ground level and therefore there is another reception room, a kitchen, a bedroom and shower room. This is access from the house itself as well as from the back garden too. It makes for a great annex/teenager suite or even the potential for a bit of Airbnb. There is lots of parking space at the front and if you feel the need for a garage, you may be pleased to learn that planning permission was granted in the past. The property has private gardens to 3 sides, a sizeable decked area and a single-storey brick-built detached building, serving as an office or super garden room. Do be sure to ask me to show you the secret gate that gives access to a little-known backwater lane, enabling access to lovely walks and amenities...how intriguing!

Now for the location and amenities... The property is located in the very heart of the popular and sought-after, quieter areas of Headingley, but also very close to everything that Meanwood has to offer. It is conveniently situated for walking access to a vast and varied array of amenities for shopping, wine bars, restaurants, cafes, and just the odd pub or two! Chapel Allerton and Moortown are nearby, too. Very easy transport links or a short walk into the City Centre. What could be better! There are great and highly desirable schools and nurseries too. Recreationally, there are lovely woodland walks close by, as well as the popular Meanwood Valley Trail. Further afield, there are The Canal Gardens and Roundhay Park, and Golden Acre Park. All are gems and are easily accessible. For the keep fit (get fit?) enthusiast, David Lloyd and Chapel Allerton Lawn Tennis, Squash, and Fitness clubs are on hand close by. For the golfers amongst you, there is one for every day of the week. Paradise! I

So there we have it...one of Headingley's best kept secrets...not now that I have told you all about it! So if you want a unique home that is a little out of the ordinary, this may well be just the perfect house for ewe. I think this house is well worth adding to the very top of your house hunting shopping list... But please, do be quick! So book yourself a viewing appointment, start your engines and pop over to see me and the house at the open day viewing event. Thank ewe.

Garden Room

3.85m x 2.87m - 12'8” x 9'5”
We are calling it a garden room, but it would also make a great self-contained office or studio. It is well concealed and you might be forgiven for not noticing it, until you are well into the back garden and look back to the house, as it is located under the raised decking area...very cleverly concealed.

Exterior

Front and side. There is an extensive block-paved wide drivway proving off street parking for several cars. We understand that planning permission was granted in the past for a garage, but was not actioned. There are 2 parts of garden areas to the side. One away to the right-hand side and set down in relation to the house. The other is the extensive raised timber decked area that makes for a great space for BBQs and parties...ideal for those who enjoy outdoor life and entertaining.

Exterior
