This is a beautifully renovated four storey period English house in lovely neighbourhood set near a 700 acre park, 3 miles from Leeds city centre.

It has generous accommodation with five bedrooms (one en suite), further sofabeds and two additional family bathrooms. It is nicely decorated but family friendly with wooden floors and washable upholstery throughout. There is a modern dining kitchen which is a lovely family room with original period features opening onto a secluded walled garden which is safe and private with an outdoor fireplace and small play castle.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The neighbourhood is delightful with many family homes, and the park (apparently the largest public city park in Europe so we have been told)with its 700 acres of land, lake, little zoo, tennis courts, skateboard park, golf course, wood, cafes, playgrounds, cricket grounds and traditional pubs are a ten minute walk away. The corner shop and swings are a five minute walk in the other direction, and a bustling street of boutiques, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes are a twenty minute walk away. Because you are so near the city centre, most ameneties such as health club, swimming pool, cinema, theatres, opera house, restaurants, shopping malls, bowling alleys etc are a short drive away. The bus stop into the town centre is on our road. There are several good quality golf clubs nearby. We are less than two hours drive from the beaches of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.
