Property Description
Offered to the open market for the first time in over 50 years, this individual three bedroom family home presents an exceptional opportunity boasting extensive garden grounds and private woodland of approaching 2.5 acres. The accommodation which would now benefit from modernisation and updates to personal tastes in further detail comprises:-
Approached via a welcoming ground‑floor entrance porch with useful storage cupboard the property opens into a hallway with understairs cupboard providing additional storage, while a guest W.C. sits conveniently to one side. A further doorway leads into the utility space, offering space and plumbing for an automatic washing machine and tumble dryer, with the electric fuse box positioned above.
The living‑dining room is a wonderfully light and spacious setting, the dining area enjoying a rear‑facing aspect across the beautiful lawned gardens. A wide opening flows naturally into the living area, a room that is once again flooded with natural light courtesy of a rear window and double patio doors that step directly out to the private, mature gardens. A separate sitting room provides an inviting retreat, featuring a wood‑burning stove, patio doors to the rear, and a staircase rising to the first floor. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, cupboards and drawers, complemented by block‑work surfaces and a double stainless‑steel inset sink. An oven with grill and hob sits beneath an extractor, with space for a fridge‑freezer and room for a breakfast table and chairs. A front‑facing window completes this charming and practical space.
To the first floor, the landing features a front‑facing window framing a delightful outlook over mature gardens and woodland beyond. Loft access is provided via a hatch, leading to a partly boarded and generous loft space. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted floor‑to‑ceiling wardrobes to one side, with a matching dressing table and drawers and a peaceful rear‑facing aspect. The second bedroom is a further double, also with a rear‑facing window, fitted wardrobes to two sides, and matching dressing furniture. The house bathroom offers a traditional suite comprising a sunken bath with tiled surround and shower over, pedestal wash basin and low‑flush W.C. Bedroom three, positioned to the front, includes fitted wardrobes and the added benefit of a modern fitted shower cubicle.
To the outside, one of the most remarkable features of this period property is the extensive lawned garden, beautifully established with mature borders, ornamental pond, large patios and a decked area ideal for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. Beyond lies an enchanting private woodland, with the grounds extending in total to approximately two and a half acres. The property further benefits from its own driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, along with double garage and stables.
An early viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the accommodation, the wonderful setting and the tremendous potential offered by this highly unique village home. Conveniently positioned between Shadwell and Scarcroft, and only minutes from the A58 Wetherby Road for commuting into Leeds, the property is available with the advantage of no onward chain.
