Owlet Hall Farm, Eccup, Leeds

Owlet Hall Farm is a stone built farmhouse situated in plot of 1.75 acres with a south facing aspect, with views towards Eccup Reservoir. Within walking distance of The Grammar School at Leeds, Owlet Hall Farm blends the best of a country retreat with close connections to both Leeds and Harrogate.

Life at Eccup includes waking up to the sound of migrating geese, welcoming the return of swifts and swallows each year, greeting the cattle, horses and deer that frequent the neighbouring fields and taking country walks to Harewood and the surrounding areas. Blending this pace of life with the fact that Leeds city centre is 6 miles south and Harrogate only 11 minutes north, offers a perfect work life balance.

Offering over 7,000 sq. ft. of living accommodation across two buildings, which includes a separate two bedroom annexe, the property boasts everything the modern family or a couple that like to entertain, could possibly wish for.

A generous sitting/dining room welcomes you into the property, with a double height ceiling and floor to ceiling windows, with views over the garden and a bespoke double sided fireplace. Sliding glass doors give access to an additional room, overlooking the garden, ideal as a home office/study.
The modern open plan living/dining kitchen is the perfect space for family living and entertaining, again with views across the garden, which has been fitted with high quality Siematic units, Gaggenau appliances, a breakfast bar and an additional six seater dining table. There is a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a door leading into the integral double garage.
A further sitting room, with built in storage, gives access to a sun room which has doors to the garden and children’s play area. Stairs lead from the sitting/dining room to the lower ground floor where you’ll find an entertainment/games room and a stunning bespoke cinema room.

To the first floor is a beautiful galleried landing which is open with a view down to the sitting/dining room. The principal bedroom is a truly showstopping space with a vaulted ceiling and far reaching views towards the reservoir. Sliding glass doors lead to a spacious ensuite with a free standing bath and a walk in dressing room with a door to a balcony. There are four further bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities, and an additional bathroom.

Across the courtyard is a separate two bedroom annexe, ideal for dependent family or as guest accommodation. A hallway leads to a sitting room (currently used as a gym), a guest W.C. and a kitchen which is fitted with modern wall and base units and has space for a dining table. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms.
There are superb lawn gardens with a putting green and children's play area. The driveway is accessed through a secure gate with access code. The patio stretches all the way through the lawn gardens and countryside and there is parking for at least a dozen vehicles and there is also a separate rear access.

Please note: There is planning in place for a new roof structure to increase the first floor space and single storey porch. There is also planning in place to change the use of the annexe as a separate dwelling with construction of a single storey extension and creating a third bedroom.

The property is ideally placed with excellent road links to Leeds City Centre, the spa town of Harrogate, market town of Wetherby and historical City of York. Leeds Bradford Airport is located just eight miles away and there are also rail links to Edinburgh, London and Manchester from Leeds. Roundhay Park, one of the largest city parks in Europe, is only a ten minute drive away and the popular Grammar School at Leeds, as well as highly regarded primary schools are within walking distance. The property is just a short distance from beautiful green belt countryside and there are six golf clubs nearby, including championship courses Moortown and Alwoodley.

SERVICES: We are advised that the property has broadband, mains water, electricity, LPG and a private sewerage plant.
