Description

A Standout Period Home with Soul and Substance

From the moment you step inside, this home impresses. Full of warmth, character and thoughtful design, it offers a rare combination of period charm and practical family living. Set in sought-after Adel, it’s close to nature, well-connected and full of lifestyle benefits.

Original features such as wood panelling, encapsulated stained glass, high ceilings and period fireplaces add texture and depth, while modern touches bring comfort and ease.

The light-filled front lounge, with a bay window and real open fire, is a calm and inviting space. Across the hall, the second reception room offers flexibility as a snug, playroom or formal dining room, complete with traditional gas fire and French doors to the garden.

The rear kitchen is a hub for everyday living and entertaining - beautifully finished with solid wood flooring, range cooker, breakfast bar, wine fridge and built-in dishwasher, it provides both style and practicality.

A generous porch, downstairs WC/ cloakroom and separate utility room enhance the home’s family-friendly layout, keeping the main living areas tidy and functional.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a modernised family bathroom featuring underfloor heating, dual fuel towel rail and twin extractor fans. The bay-fronted main bedroom is particularly spacious and filled with natural light.

Thoughtfully Upgraded for Modern Life

This home has been sensitively updated with energy efficiency in mind: a Kingspan solar hot water system, condensing boiler, full double glazing, EV charging point and a bespoke security system with a panic alarm provide peace of mind and lower energy costs.

Versatile Outdoor Space

The newly laid, permeable block-paved driveway offers ample parking. The front garden bursts with colour, fruit trees and mature planting. The rear garden is private and well-maintained - ideal for children, pets and al fresco dining. Additional highlights include side access to a garage, a cellar with power and water, and a versatile outbuilding with a period stove - perfect as a garden studio or home office.

A Location That Has It All

Adel remains one of North Leeds’ most desirable neighbourhoods - known for its balance of village charm and city convenience. Local cafés, shops, friendly pubs, and great sports facilities are all nearby. Golden Acre Park, Bedquilts and the Meanwood Valley Trail offer nature on your doorstep, while well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within walking distance.

With frequent buses and cycle routes along Otley Road, plus easy access to Harrogate, Ilkley and the city centre, the connections are as strong as the community.
