AMENITIES:

The development is situated in a very popular and extremely convenient location, to the north-west of Leeds (approximately 4 miles from the city centre) and is also ideally placed for access, by car, to the commercial centres of Leeds and Bradford and also the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. There is the advantage of regular public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university, on the nearby Otley Road - which is only a couple of minutes easy walking distance from the building. On the opposite side of Otley Road, there are also public transport facilities to the active historic market town of Otley, the former spa town of Ilkley with connections to the market town of Skipton. There are some local shopping parades near the development which include cafes and more extensive shopping facilities can be found in Headingley (about two thirds of a mile away and a leisurely 15 minute walk), Horsforth, Moortown and Meanwood.

Meanwood is only a few minutes drive by car and has a Waitrose supermarket and a choice of other amenities. The famous Golden Acre Park is approximately three and a half miles away and barely 15 minutes drive by car (also on a bus route from Otley Road) and lovely open countryside is a similar distance. Leeds Bradford Airport is about 20 minutes drive. The Village Hotel and Leisure Club is about half a mile away and the "vibrant" area of Headingley has an excellent choice of shopping facilities, a mix of trendy bars and traditional pubs and popular restaurants and a good choice of other eating places.

Other leisure facilities in the area include both the Headingley cricket and rugby grounds and Cottage Road Cinema is literally only a few minutes walking distance from the development. A leisurely 20 minute walk provides access to parkland - which forms part of the Meanwood Valley Trail and also leads to the Hollies Park and woodland providing delightful walks and rambles and also where there are tennis courts in an idyllic, peaceful setting.
