Semi-detached house for sale in Buckstone Oval, Alwoodley, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS17

Well...they say life is full of surprises...and this certainly was a very pleasant one for me.

I just love a classic bay-windowed semi-detached house, particularly where there is the potential to extend up into the loft, from the first-floor landing...so I suppose you could say it is a house that you could grow into, too!

This is a good-sized semi-detached house that has undergone a series of improvements and modernisation in recent times. For instance, the property has recently been completely rerendered with breathable Monocouche render, in addition to new water pipework to the property itself. As more people have the ability to work from home, having full fibre broadband is a big plus. The property is on a water meter and the loft has been fully insulated. The boiler was serviced in May 2024.

So...having parked on the roadside or even on the driveway, your guided tour will start by entering through the front door into a bright and airy entrance hall which has delightful engineered Oak flooring. By taking the first left, you will enter into an elegant, bay-windowed living room which has a lovely feature fireplace incorporating a living flame gas fire. Back into the hallway and then straight forward into a very impressive open-plan kitchen diner measuring 5.56m x 3.94m. Here, wow factures, abound. Installed in August '22, the fitted and equipped kitchen is rather swish and boasts an array of enhancements.The dining area is spacious and has plenty of space to seat 10 people or so with plenty of space to spare. Double doors open straight into the private back garden, so this is a room that is ideal for those who like to entertain both inside and out! From the hallway the staircase will whisk you straight up to the first floor landing...Don't forget to ask me about how to extend into the loft. Now I must say, I was impressed about the size of the 2 largest bedrooms! The master bedroom is at the front and takes full advantage of the space created by the bay window...but wait until you see the 2nd bedroom at the back of the house...this is only marginally smaller hand enjoys views over the back garden. Bedroom 3 is adjacent to the master, and could well be used as a good sized office, should you choose to work from home. And now to the bathroom which is separate to the W.C. Here, we have a lovely contemporary white bathroom suite. It is possible to knock these into one, to form a really good-sized bathroom. (but having lots of girls, I would opt to keep it as is.)

And so to the outside...If you want off-street parking, then this driveway delivers...space for 3 cars? A lovely front garden with a high hedge ensures privacy as doesthe back garden. Great outdoor space for entertaining with friends and family.

Now for the amenities...Alwoodley is considered to be popular and a sought-after leafy suburb within North Leeds. One of the main advantages to buying this house is that you will be in the catchment area for alwoodley primary and the much sought after allerton high schools... So value and resaleabilty can be assured. The main arterial roads give easy access to Horsforth, Moortown, Chapel Allerton, Headingley, Meanwood, Bramhope, Leeds city centre and access to the motorway networks, and of course, Leeds and Bradford International Airport are a few miles away. Regular public transport is on hand and there are additional schools in proximity, catering to children of all ages. Private schooling and nurseries too. Apart from good shopping, restaurants, pubs, and wine bars, there are lots of sports clubs to visit in order to work off those overindulgences. There are lovely woodland walks close by, as well as the popular Meanwood Valley Trail. Slightly further afield there are The Canal Gardens and Roundhay Park. All three 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, all within a few miles. Paradise!
