Claremont Road, Far Headingley, Leeds

The property is located on a very pleasant, quiet "semi-backwater" street, and yet is only a relatively short walking distance from nearby "vibrant" Headingley!

Immediately on entering the Through Reception Hall, applicants will start to appreciate the very pleasant living atmosphere with in this home and the excellent proportions of the accommodation which is complemented by high level ceilings and character period features.

The concealed staircase on the first floor landing, leads to a superb second floor bedroom which is currently used as an additional relaxation space but would also be ideal as a large master bedroom. A dormer window and Velux roof windows to two elevations provide good natural light.

An impressive basement area is accessed via a concealed staircase from the Reception Hall. Comprising a Hall, two good sized rooms with windows for natural light and a smaller room, combined with excellent ceiling height, the basement would respond well to being converted into additional living space to suit individual requirements.
