Flat 3 1 Grosvenor Road, Leeds

Well...what a pleasant surprise and such a hidden gem! As I approach the building for the first time, a sense of history is very apparent. This and the surrounding properties are classic examples of early Victorian houses which still carry that endearing beauty, simply oozing character and charm and welcome you into a world of truly classic architecture. Oh...what it must have been like to witness these properties for the first time, as new houses! The surrounding grounds are a big plus, which will simply come alive in the spring and summer months. The grounds provide a delightful backdrop/setting for outdoor activities, creating a sense of community not always found in properties such as this.

Nestled within this serene part of Leeds, this sizeable first-floor apartment presents a unique opportunity to reside in a stone-built period property. Tucked away in a secluded backwater, the property offers a rare sense of tranquillity, providing a peaceful escape while being conveniently close to all that Headingley and the city centre has to offer....One of Headingley's hidden secrets...not now that I have told you all about it.

After having parked on the roadside, walked up the driveway, up a few steps and entering through an amazing side entry door, your guided tour will start by taking in the lovely features that the communal hallway has to offer. The staircase at the end will whisk you effortlessly to the first floor, where your apartment awaits you. Your entrance hall is straight in front and could well be used as a small work station should you wish to work from home. Turning left and left again will take you into a southerly facing, rather elegant room that I have initially described as a living room but personally, I think it would make for a fabulous bedroom as it is not overlooked and there is great natural light. Check out the height of the ceiling, too. Adjacent to this room is the dining kitchen that enjoys the same feel to it and may well be big enough to incorporate your living area within it...the solid fuel stove would be great to cuddle up in front of on a winter's evening. Further down the hallway is the separate (guest) cloakroom with the shower room being adjacent. Around to the right, we finish with a double bedroom, which has twin Velux windows.

Entrance Hall

The apartment is situated on the first floor of this beautiful period property. As such, there is a lovely communal entrance hallway and staircase that takes you up to the first-floor apartment.Here, the apartment has it's own entrance hallway, measuring 3.24 metres x 2.11 metres (maximum). This space provides the potential to be used as a workstation for those who work from home, particularly as there are double-glazed PVCU sash windows and a radiator.

Living Room

(maximum measurements into the chimney breast recess) Elegance abounds...to be used as a living room or a rather sumptuous bedroom...your choice. Lovely polished wooden flooring, fitted cupboards, drawers and shelving within the chimney breast recesses are nice features. Picture rail, high ceilings (10 ft+), coving, fire surround and double-glazed PVCU sash windows, are others. Having a southerly aspect and views over the garden, it is a light, bright and airy room that affords a good degree of privacy.

Kitchen/Dining Room

4.33m x 4.21m - 14'2" x 13'10"
Being of such a good size, you could have this room as part of your living space too, if desired. Floor units incorporate an electric oven, a 4-ring gas hob and an extractor hood above it. Space for a fridge/freezer, picture rail and coving. There are fitted cupboards and shelving to the chimney breast recesses, and I simply adore the solid fuel stove set within the chimney breast. Again, lovely polished wood flooring together with twin southerly facing sash windows ensure another light, bright and airy room.
