The Old Cottage, Gledhow Lane, LS8

Tucked away in a quiet spot up a private driveway just off Gledhow Lane, this beautiful cottage is one of the original buildings of Gledhow dating back to around 1870. The freshly renovated property presents a most attractive frontage with new aluminium windows in a period pebble grey colour and striking original limestone steps leading to the entrance. Inside, a bright hallway with elegant mosaic tiles and high ceilings creates a warm and inviting first impression.

To the right, the expansive master bedroom features fresh cream carpets, crisp white walls, and two large windows that flood the room with natural light. The ensuite bathroom offers a spa-like retreat with stone-effect tiles, silver fixtures, and a walk-in wet room shower illuminated by a skylight. Further down the hallway, a single bedroom, complete with high ceiling and a skylight, is perfectly suited for use as either a nursery or a home office.

At the heart of the home is the living-dining room, where the cottage's traditional charm truly shines. Gorgeous original wooden beams and an exposed brick fireplace evoke warmth and history, while a newly installed log burner adds character and comfort for cosy nights in. Lime-plastered walls and period-style column radiators perfectly blend old-world charm with modern convenience.

The living-dining room flows effortlessly into the lounge, which features bifold doors that open up the back of the house to the patio, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces. The natural stone-tiled patio is ideal for alfresco dining, and the lush garden beyond creates a private, serene retreat.

The generously proportioned kitchen, accessed from the dining space, is a showstopper. Featuring elegant tiles, limestone grey cabinetry with gold handles and gleaming white quartz countertops, it's both stylish and functional, with premium AEG cookers and hob, and integrated appliances neatly concealed for a sleek finish.

A third bedroom is a generous double boasting large, south facing windows, freshly painted walls, and plush cream carpets, offering a comfortable, light-filled space. The luxurious family bathroom includes marble-effect tiles, gold fixtures, and a walk-in shower, adding a touch of elegance. Two separate cupboards offering invaluable storage space complete the internal accommodation.

Outside, the private garden is beautifully landscaped with freshly laid grass and planted borders, creating a tranquil escape enclosed by a tall, heritage stone wall, established hedges and newly installed fencing. The property benefits from a pedestrian gate opening onto Lidgett Walk, a footpath leading to Roundhay Park. This entrance also offers convenient access in the direction of the local amenities of the Chandos Gardens parade which include a Post Office, chemist and cafe.

Nestled near the Gledhow Sports and Social Club, this home offers a prime setting just off Gledhow Lane, providing easy access to both Roundhay and Chapel Allerton. Excellent schools are just a short walk away, including Stepping Stone Nursery, Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nurseries, Kerr Mackie Primary School, and Gledhow Primary School.
