Abbey Avenue, Leeds, LS5 3DH

QUOTE: TD0438

Looking at the impressive facade of this four double bedroom, two bathroom, family home tucked away on a quiet no-through road, one would never guess the delights that lie within. It is awash with design touches, but at street level, the building’s 1900’s authenticity is meticulously well maintained.

10 Abbey Avenue is located on a charming street which is conveniently located next to the Leeds Bradford canal, ideal for long Sunday walks or for those that want a scenic, flat bicycle ride into the city centre. The proximity to Kirkstall’s wide range of independent shops, cafes and supermarkets is hard to beat and if you are looking for a spacious property, with a high degree of flexibility so central to the city of Leeds. The house boasts 1680 square feet of living accommodation, set over three floors, offers a substantial amount of  living space ideal for any growing family or the ever increasing number of people requiring well-proportioned home office space. 

Since moving in, the owners have upgraded the house and spent a significant sum of money by adding a new roof in 2022 to include the repointing of both chimney stacks. In addition to this, a new Baxi gas combination boiler was installed in the same year. In October 2023 all exterior window frames underwent varnish and weather treatment.

This exceptional home is a stylish yet functional living environment and somewhere to incorporate the practicalities of family life.  This vision has been achieved and is evident in the open plan dining room/living kitchen configuration downstairs – the beating heart of the house - where each family member can co-exist in the same area, and yet have the freedom to find a space in which to be themselves. 

A door opens out to the pleasant, rear garden and the exterior seamlessly connects into the social living space within; the huge skylight in the kitchen area allows light to gently wash the room and lift the mood, making it a very pleasant space to cook, eat and entertain. The design intention was to encourage family get-togethers and to entertain friends: this has been a great success. 

The utility room is located just off the kitchen and offers plumbing and venting for a washer drier, space for an American style fridge freezer, a sink and WC. A door leads out to the rear garden making this a great space for muddy boots and wellies. 

Imaginative design is cleverly intertwined with original features and modern day living requirements throughout the rest of the house. A complementary mix of the old and the new design features run effortlessly throughout the remaining ground floor area - there is a practical cloakroom and a bay fronted sitting room with an elegant gas burning stove. This space lends itself wonderfully well to either entertaining friends or curling up on the sofa with a good book or film to hand.  A wide entrance hall welcomes visitors and, in addition, the house offers plenty of storage for the detritus of busy, family life while maintaining a visually pleasing aesthetic.  

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms which are both beautifully presented. The master bedroom has space for  a full wall of free-standing or fitted  wardrobes depending on your preference and high ceilings provide an elegant and airy atmosphere. The spacious and modern family bathroom incorporates a three piece suite with a bath with a boiler fed shower and tiling to wet areas.. 

Two more impressive double bedrooms, both served by a Jack and Jill  shower room, are to be found on the second floor, each with their own unique, quirky design. Both of these bedrooms provide a quiet sanctuary away from the more open-plan parts of the household and the current owners have designated one bedroom as office/hobby space as well as a large double bedroom for family members and visiting friends.

The rear garden is an enticing, well designed space in which to while away the hours when the weather is fine. There is a large social space with a spacious patio area which provides plenty of room for entertaining or for just enjoying a family summer barbecue.  In addition there is a good sized lawn area for the age group who prefer to play outdoors. Last but not least, there gated off-street parking for two vehicles.
