Notre maison

Description de notre maison d'échange

For 2023 we would love an exchange around Christmas or New Year. We're open to all destinations so please surprise us!

Our closest airport is either Leeds/Bradford or Manchester. 2.5 hours on the train to London and 4 to Edinburgh.

Welcome to our newly renovated home in Leeds, West Yorkshire. We have spent 2 years bringing life back into an architect designed mid-century bungalow and are ready to begin exchanging again.

The house is situated at the end of a small cul de sac of beautiful Victorian houses and has its own private entrance and spacious driveway. We are surrounded by trees and greenery.

Our home is all on one level with 2 steps down into the kitchen area. All floors are tiled with underfloor heating throughout, rugs and we have a cosy log burner. We have tried to recycle and re-use a number of the original features including a Japanese style shoji screen and beautiful teak wardrobe doors. The house is furnished simply with a mix of antiques, mid-century furniture and simple Ikea pieces.

The space comprises a large hallway, utility room and garage, open plan kitchen, dining, lounge, separate games room with projector and TV. The second hallway has a digital piano and a few other small instruments and this leads to the house shower room, 2 double bedrooms, 1 bedroom with bunkbeds and the master suite including en-suite bathroom with doors leading onto the large wrap around deck.

The house is sunny and warm and has lots of natural light from the many big windows!

We are passionate about creating a warm and calming environment to live and relax in. We have tried to make our home feel as holiday like as possible and have taken influence from some of the places we've visited through home exchange.

The garden is big and wraps around the property, as does the large deck which runs along the back of property. Although we are minutes away from shops and restaurants the garden is very secluded and you feel a little like you are in the countryside with lots of wildlife. We haven't managed to landscape all of the garden yet so it is a little wild in places! We have a large hot tub and wooden surfboard swing hanging from the huge cedar tree.

We've have built a large, wood-framed home yoga studio / gym in the garden which is a great additional space you'd be welcome to use, complete with rowing machine, Kettlebells, gymnastic stall bars and a pull up/ring row bar. We have a fire pit, covered eating area and bbq plus hot tub. Inside we have a table tennis net and bats plus cricket and rounders sets plus various games and some toys for younger children.

We're within 2 minutes walk of a 700 acre park with lakes, bike trails and cafes and the house and garden feel very tucked away and quiet despite being so close to local bars, cafes and shops.

Quartier

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours

Our primarily Victorian-era neighbourhood is lovely and vibrant with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants less than a 1 minute walk away. Many of the streets are tree-lined and our house is 5 minutes walk from one of the largest parks in Europe - Roundhay Park. Full of woodland walks, 2 lakes, Victorian bandstands and plenty of space to play, cycle or stroll. The park also has 2 playgrounds, a skatepark and 2 cafe/restaurants.

We are just 3 miles from Leeds City Centre and on the direct bus route. There you'll find art galleries, a museum, cinemas, theatre, fantastic Victorian and modern shopping arcades plus all the other amenities you'd expect from a large, vibrant city centre! We are just a short drive from medieval York and the spa town of Harrogate.

We have very easy access to the countryside with the Yorkshire Dales making a perfect day trip.

Our nearest airports are either Leeds Bradford or Manchester, and there are great train links to other parts of the UK, including London (2.20mins) and Edinburgh (4 hours).

A Faire

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer

There are lots of things for both families and friends to do in, and around, Leeds.

For children we like:
Xscape in Castleford - a huge indoor skiing/climbing/laser quest centre with restaurants and cinema
Tropical World - Butterfly house and exotic plants plus fish and even crocodiles just 5 minutes walk from our house
Harewood House - A stately home with fantastic adventure playground, lake and bird sanctuary.
Brimham Rocks - A weird and wonderful natural rock formation run by the National Trust - perfect for a day scrambling and climbing in the outdoors
Quad biking in the Yorkshire Dales
Ninja Warrior indoor course - 5 minutes drive from our house

For adults:
Harrogate Turkish Spa - A lovely, relaxing place to spend a few hours followed by a day in this Victorian spa town
Everyman Cinema - A stylish cinema and bar in the city centre, surrounded by restaurants and some great shops
Yorkshire Sculpture Park - Also great with kids, this free, open air art gallery is around 40 mins drive and includes work by Henry Moore & Barbara Hepworth
The Grand Theatre - fabulous Victoria playhouse in the city centre

In addition to these there we are close to the Yorkshire Dales, Ilkley Moor, Otley Chevin and many very local beauty spots for walks, mountain biking, wild swimming and picnics.

More information will be provided in our Home Swap Handbook but please ask if you have any specific ideas you're looking for.

Nos préférences

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.

We all love and look after our home and will care for yours in the same way. The house is non-smoking. We'd prefer it if shoes weren't worn inside the house.

We have a Peugeot 3008 car that we are happy to exchange.
