Description

This four-bedroom detached property is situated in the sought-after Scarcroft area, an ideal opportunity for families and investors alike. With generous outdoor space both at the front and back, this residence not only offers ample parking but also presents significant potential for renovation or expansion. Upon entry, you'll find a traditionally styled hallway with oak paneling that leads to various living spaces filled with character. The sitting room provides a cozy ambiance, featuring a real open fire and a bespoke stone fireplace. High ceilings and wooden floors enhance the sense of space, while windows offer delightful views of the front garden and surrounding countryside. The dining room continues this theme, with its own high ceilings and French doors that open up to a sizeable garden—perfect for entertaining or enjoying privacy among mature plantings. The property's orientation allows almost every room to benefit from picturesque views of either the expansive gardens or the scenic Hetchell Woods. One of the standout features is the potential for significant development; there's an opportunity to extend nearly double the size of the existing structure, subject to planning approval. The property occupies one of the largest plots on this private lane, which is rare in this desirable neighborhood where homes seldom come available. Located conveniently just off Wetherby Road, this home combines peaceful living with easy access to urban amenities. It's just a short 20-minute drive to Leeds City Centre and 15 minutes to Wetherby, providing quick access to shopping, recreational facilities—including renowned golf courses—and educational institutions like The Grammar School at Leeds and Gateways School. With mains water, electricity, and gas already connected, this property is ready for your personal touch. Whether you're looking to create your dream family home or seeking an investment opportunity with substantial growth potential, this unique dwelling has much to offer.
