Description
A four-bedroom detached house in Headingley, arranged over several levels and retaining original character details. The accommodation includes a kitchen diner with access to a cellar, a living room with exposed beams, two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper floor, including one bedroom with en-suite facilities. The ground floor is currently divided into four rooms used as a music studio, alongside a separate WC. These rooms may suit other uses, subject to suitability and any required consents.
Outside, a courtyard leads to a spacious rear garden, and the property also has off-street parking and an outbuilding. The house is offered as a renovation and reconfiguration project, with scope to modernise the existing accommodation and consider how the ground-floor rooms could be used. It is freehold, with vacant possession advised on legal completion. Headingley has local shops, cafés, schools, parks and public transport links to Leeds city centre.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a characterful, medium-scale project with exposed beams, stone features, a spacious maintained garden, courtyard and off-street parking. The ground-floor rooms currently used as a music studio offer scope to explore a different arrangement, subject to suitability and any necessary consents; the kitchen and bathrooms also provide clear opportunities for updating.
The asking price of £795,000 is about 10% above the local average on a £/sqf basis, and the overall score is low. All-in costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the project’s appeal rests on how well a buyer can make the character, flexible accommodation and outdoor space work for them.
Key opportunities
- Retain and bring out the exposed beams, timber floors and stone character while refreshing the dated finishes.
- Assess the ground-floor music-studio rooms for alternative uses or a more suitable layout, subject to suitability and any necessary consents.
- Make the most of the maintained garden, courtyard, parking and outbuilding as part of a tailored home and outdoor space.
