Park Avenue, Roundhay, LS8

You can either access the home through the grand porch at the front or the side entrance that leads immediately into the kitchen for convenience. But let's be traditional and step through the porch and into the first room.

Technically, it's a hallway. But realistically, it's a reception room. It's the place where you greet your party guests, hand them a drink or canapè and have the space to linger, to introduce to other guests - you could even comfortably host the entire dinner party here!

Decorated in an elegant style, with intricate coving, a bold splash of colour and an abundance of space to use as you wish. Perhaps you'll put the grand piano here, a dining area or redesign it completely to suit your own lifestyle.

On the right, double doors lead into a traditionally-styled living room. Running the entire length of the home, you have a window overlooking the front garden on one side and the French doors leading out to the rear garden on the other. Undoubtedly spacious and filled with light, this room feels simultaneously welcoming and regal, with a stunning Baroque-style fireplace as the centrepiece of the room.

If we take a left from the hallway, there are doors leading to the home office, the cloakroom and into the open-plan kitchen, dining and living room.

The family kitchen is fabulous. Newly fitted in 2017, the contemporary kitchen has all the modern features you'd want in your kitchen, from the LVT wood-effect flooring to the neutral palette selected for the walls and a slick white L-shaped countertop. The current owners have chosen top-of-the-range appliances, including an American-style fridge freezer, induction hob and double oven, from reputable brands like Samsung and Whirlpool.

The working part of the kitchen flows immediately into an informal dining area, a formal dining area and a snug-like space. 'The Snug' is the informal part of the home where the family can watch TV together after their evening meal and is becoming a much-coveted space in a family home. The advantage of this kitchen is that it is so versatile. With so much available space, you can quite easily redesign the layout to suit your family's unique lifestyle. And with a neutral colour scheme, it can easily be adapted from a style point of view too.

On the first floor of the home are four double bedrooms. These slumber stations are all spacious and styled simply, ideal when considering the cost of interior updates when you move into a new home.

The principal bedroom has built-in storage solutions, a soothing ecru colour scheme and an en-suite bathroom. Updated in recent years, the en-suite is decorated in a matching calming colour scheme to the bedroom and benefits from a shower, WC, heated towel rail and washbasin cabinet.

In bedrooms two, three and four, the owners have maximised the space by building wardrobes and storage solutions under the sloping ceilings, allowing plenty of space across the rest of the room to be styled as you wish. And there is an abundance of space! Furthermore, you don't need to use all the rooms as bedrooms. You can very easily transform the room to suit your lifestyle: a guest suite, hobby space, library, playroom or something else entirely!

The family bathroom was renovated in 2022. It's a showstopper, and we love it. Cool tiles adorn the walls, with a darker shade of floor tile chosen to create a truly modern feel. A large bathtub, a huge walk-in shower and the ultimate indulgence of a double washbasin in a sophisticated dark blue hue.

Not simply an expansive lawn that couldn't be more perfect for a large family, the grounds as a whole are an abundance of opportunity and adventure. The pond, the large paved area and the summer house hidden behind the Yucca tree.

In the warmer months, you'll be inclined to spend all of your free time out here. Relax on a deck chair on the terrace and enjoy the sun all day long. Set up the BBQ and watch the children racing around the wraparound garden in their games. Or while away an afternoon tending to the picturesque array of shrubs, bushes and flowers found here.

The home is prime for extension opportunities, has a new boiler which was installed in October 2022, and there's an ADT alarm system connected to a control room and local police.

Last but certainly not least, the location of the home is in one of the most desirable spots in North Leeds. You can proudly call Roundhay Park your back garden, providing you with access to one of the most prestigious parks outside of London. Famous for its events and seasonal festivals as well as the perfect spot for exercise or a family day out. You'll always find something new to explore within its 700 acres.

If you're considering local schools, Park Avenue is perfectly positioned for Roundhay School, Leeds Grammar and plenty of excellent primary schools too.
