Flax Cottage, Staircase Lane, Bramhope, Leeds 16

Positioned within a very exclusive but little known back water and approached by a long lane through fields, adding to the rural feel, this delightful stone-built cottage is a most outstanding rental opportunity! Impossible to appreciate from the outside, the property provides three reception room living space which is further complemented by a beautiful oak framed orangery as well as a very impressive luxury breakfast kitchen and the sought after feature of a downstairs WC. Enhanced by some lovely character features including beamed ceilings, the property also has the benefit of four bedrooms to the first floor, with the master bedroom having the advantage of an en-suite dressing room as well as an en-suite shower room. There is a further en-suite facility for one of the other bedrooms and another bedroom has a "Jack &Jill" arrangement with the house bathroom for flexibility. Combined with well tended, predominantly lawn gardens of good size (gardening included), the property also enjoys ample off road parking as well as a double detached garage. Therefore, we have no hesitation recommending a full viewing appointment without delay!
