3D Tour Available!

No Chain!

Occupying a delightful "semi-backwater", peaceful setting within the Headingley conservation area, yet within only a few minutes walk of excellent local amenities, in the vibrant centre of this much sought after suburb of Leeds, this very charming, Grade II Listed, stone-built, double fronted terraced cottage is a most outstanding and rare purchasing opportunity!

Immediately upon entering the property from the rear, applicants will be drawn to the front, shuttered sash window looking down over a pretty, predominantly lawned, cottage garden and beyond the central walkway to a further garden - a lovely environment which is particular feature of this home! The rear entrance door leads into a most attractive Dining Kitchen which is well appointed with a range of cream coloured shaker style fronted cabinets with oak working surfaces over and incorporating a Belfast style sink. There is a gas and electric cooker recessed into the chimney breast which has a tiled interior, an extractor/filter unit and a heavy stone lintel above. Other integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a fridge freezer, there is ample space for a family size dining table and the room is further complemented by oak flooring.

A doorway from the Dining Kitchen leads through the Front Entrance Lobby, which has a twin-pane entrance door, to the Lounge which also has a shuttered sash window looking on to the lovely, southerly facing cottage garden. A focal point for the Lounge is the log burning stove recessed into the chimney breast which has a rustic brick interior, enhanced by a stone hearth, and the room is further complemented by a cornice ceiling, picture rail and attractive exposed floorboards.

The staircase from the Front Entrance Lobby leads to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, attractive period fireplaces (display), exposed floorboards and shuttered sash windows overlooking the gardens to the southerly facing front elevation. The travertine tiled Bathroom ifs fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a double ended bath, shower enclosure with a contrasting mosaic tiled interior, vanity wash basin and a low-suite WC with concealed cistern, and there is a window to the rear.

OUTSIDE

The very pretty, southerly facing garden to the front of the property is a particular feature of this home and a pleasant environment for outdoor relaxation. A stone paved terrace adjacent to the house looks down on to the predominantly lawned garden, with well stocked shaped borders, and a glimpse beyond an attractive low level stone wall, past the central walkway, through an arch in a privet hedge, to a further garden area which can be utilised to suit individual needs. By the southern boundary, there are sprinkling of mature trees providing a good degree of privacy from the properties opposite.
