Property description

Set on AN IMPRESSIVE CORNER SITE which forms part of a SMALL, EXCLUSIVE, LITTLE-KNOWN CUL-DE-SAC of only eight individually styled detached properties, an outstanding opportunity, for a larger growing family, to purchase this IMPOSING DETACHED RESIDENCE and the generous size of which is impossible to assess from the outside. This lovely home, which, is most appealing in style and appearance, offers BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED and WELL PROPORTIONED FAMILY ACCOMMODATION with some VERY TASTEFUL IMPROVEMENTS, and includes a reception hall (virtually a room in itself!), THREE RECEPTION ROOMS (with versatility in the way in which they can be used) plus A SUPERB CONSERVATORY and WELL PLANNED AND TASTEFULLY FITTED BREAKFAST-DINING KITCHEN. There are FOUR BEDROOMS - featuring an extensively fitted master bedroom with the advantage of AN EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM plus a NURSERY BEDROOM or as currently used by our clients, a fitted dressing room or could be a study if required. The LUXURY STYLE FAMILY BATHROOM OF GOOD SIZE includes a double ended bath and corner shower cubicle. The reception space is ideal for relaxed family living and also for entertaining (particularly for parties and larger family gatherings) as the conservatory has access from both the through lounge and the sitting room, and from the conservatory there is direct access to the DELIGHTFUL, PRIVATE, ESTABLISHED GARDENS which further enhance the property. 

AMENITIES: The property is situated in this much sought after residential area - which is ideally placed for comfortable daily commuting to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university and yet is within easy walking distance of delightful walks and woodland rambles. Open countryside and a local golf course are only a few minutes drive by car. The property is also ideally placed for comfortable daily commuting, by car, to the other commercial centre of Bradford, the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley and the historic, active market town of Otley. There is a choice of public transport facilities to Leeds city centre on either Long Causeway (two or three minutes walk) or the main Otley Road (A660) about 15 minutes walk. Golden Acre Park is only several minutes drive from the property and Leeds and Bradford Airport about 15-20 minutes drive. There are very popular primary schools in Adel (within easy walking distance) and Ralph Thoresby Secondary School is about two miles away. Local parades of shops in Adel - on the main Otley Road, include a Co-op with post office facility and there is also a recently opened Spa at the Lawnswood Service Station with Subway and Gregg's bakery and these are both within walking distance. More extensive shopping facilities can be found at Headingley, Horsforth, Moortown and Meanwood (offering a choice of supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Morrisons) and all of which are within approximately 10-15 minutes drive by car. Holt Park Centre (less then ten minutes drive by car) includes an enlarged Asda supermarket and Holt Park Active sports and leisure centre with swimming pool and sports hall. As previously mentioned, the property is within easy reach of Adel Woods with links to the Meanwood Valley Trail which has an interesting variety of wildlife and an abundance of birdlife to observe and enjoy in a lovely peaceful setting. 

DIRECTIONS: FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN ADEL ON THE MAIN OTLEY ROAD turn into Church Lane (see the sign post Adel and Eccup) and about 50 paces along turn right at the "T" junction into Adel Lane. Proceed on Adel Lane for about one fifth of a mile and turn left into St Helens Lane, when Oaklands Close is then the last turning on the right - a short distance before reaching the junction with Long Causeway.
