Some homes have character. Some have history. And some possess that rare combination of both, where the architecture, proportions and original details create an atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated in a modern property.

Set within a generous and established plot, this distinctive property offers a wonderful blend of period charm, substantial accommodation and exceptional outside space. From the moment you enter, there is an unmistakable sense of warmth and individuality, with original features carefully retained throughout and an abundance of beautiful craftsmanship.

The accommodation extends to an impressive 1,825 sq ft approximately, excluding the detached garage, and is arranged over two floors. The scale of the rooms is immediately apparent, with two substantial reception rooms providing elegant and versatile living spaces.

At the heart of the home is the breakfast kitchen, a room which perfectly captures the character of the property. Bespoke-style timber cabinetry extends across the room, complemented by work surfaces, exposed timber beams, traditional wood panelling and a wealth of period detail. The large dining area makes this a wonderfully sociable space, equally suited to relaxed family breakfasts, long Sunday lunches or entertaining friends.

The kitchen also benefits from beautiful leaded and stained-glass windows, which flood the room with natural light while adding another layer of period charm. The combination of the original timber detailing, exposed beams and warm wooden floorboards gives this room a wonderfully timeless quality.

The reception accommodation is equally impressive. The main reception room is a generous and characterful space, while the separate lounge offers a quieter environment in which to relax.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with a useful utility room and additional shower room completing the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the proportions continue to impress. The main bedroom is a substantial room measuring approximately 17'11" x 14', with the second bedroom also offering excellent proportions at approximately 15'6" x 13'11". Two further bedrooms provide flexibility for family living, guests, hobbies or home working.

A spacious family bathroom and separate WC complete the first floor.

However, it is perhaps the plot that will leave the greatest impression.

The aerial photograph clearly illustrates the remarkable depth of the gardens, which extend a considerable distance beyond the house. The property occupies an enviable and unusually generous parcel of land, with established lawns, mature planting, trees, pathways, outbuildings and a greenhouse creating a private and wonderfully established garden environment.

There is a real sense of space and seclusion here that is increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such a well-connected residential setting. The gardens offer enormous scope for enjoying outdoor life, whether that means entertaining, gardening, creating play areas for children or simply having somewhere peaceful to escape.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides generous off-road parking and leads to a detached garage of approximately 264 sq ft, adding valuable storage and further practical space.

What makes this property particularly special is the combination of its attributes. It is not simply a four-bedroom house, nor is it simply a period property. It is a home with presence, individuality and a genuine sense of history, accompanied by an exceptional plot and generous accommodation.

Occupying a convenient position on Selby Road in the popular area of east Leeds, this property is ideally placed for enjoying an excellent range of local amenities, leisure facilities and transport links, whilst remaining within easy reach of Leeds city centre.

The nearby The Springs at Thorpe Park provides an impressive choice of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, creating a particularly convenient destination for everyday essentials, dining and spending time with family and friends. Further retail and commercial facilities can be found at Colton Retail Park and throughout the surrounding area.

The location is also well suited to commuters, with regular bus services operating along Selby Road and Cross Gates railway station approximately a mile away, providing convenient rail connections into Leeds city centre and beyond. The property's position also offers straightforward access to the A1(M), M1 and wider West Yorkshire road network.

Families are well served by a choice of local schools, while the surrounding area offers access to a number of attractive green spaces and leisure destinations. Temple Newsam, Roundhay Park and the wider amenities of Leeds are all readily accessible.

Combining excellent local convenience with superb connectivity and easy access to shopping, dining, leisure and green spaces, this is a well-connected location that is ideally suited to modern family life and commuting.
