A DESIRABLE NORTH LEEDS ADDRESS

West Park

A much-loved suburb of north-west Leeds, West Park is known for its tree-lined streets, strong community spirit and ease of access to both Leeds city centre and open green spaces. It remains a firm favourite with families, professionals, and those seeking a calm, well-connected location.

Outstanding Local Schools

This home is ideally situated for several respected schools including Weetwood Primary, Lawnswood Secondary, and The Grammar School at Leeds — the latter served by dedicated school bus routes via the Ring Road.

Shops, Cafés & Essentials

West Park is home to a number of local cafés, convenience shops and independent retailers, while neighbouring Headingley offers a broader selection including boutiques, artisan coffee shops, restaurants, and high-street names — perfect for both everyday needs and social weekends.

Close to Horsforth

A short drive brings you to vibrant Horsforth, known for its excellent dining scene, welcoming pubs, independent businesses, and beautiful open parkland — an ideal setting for families, dog-walkers, and those who enjoy the outdoors.

Green Spaces & Recreation

The nearby West Park Fields offer open meadows, woodland paths, and plenty of space for children to play or for relaxed walks and jogs. The area is well suited to those who value access to nature while staying within a suburban setting.

Connectivity

The home benefits from excellent transport links via the A660, A65 and the Leeds Outer Ring Road. Frequent bus services run to Leeds city centre, Headingley and Horsforth, while Headingley and Horsforth train stations provide direct rail links to Leeds, Harrogate and York.

 
THE ACCOMMODATION

Entrance Hall

As befits a property of this era, the entrance hall is a showpiece in itself — a grand, light-filled space with original panelling and a beautiful staircase rising to the first floor. It provides an elegant welcome and sets the tone for the rest of the home.

Bay-Fronted Living Room

A well-proportioned, bay-fronted room positioned at the front of the house, featuring picture rails, ornate coving, and abundant natural light. This is the perfect retreat for relaxing in the evening or entertaining guests in comfort and style.

Dining Room

Located to the rear of the property, this spacious reception room is centred around a stunning brick inglenook fireplace with a cast iron log-burning stove and oak mantel. Currently used as a formal dining space, the room is generously sized and offers plenty of flexibility — easily accommodating a secondary snug or family sitting area. A window enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden, making it an ideal hub for modern family life.

Kitchen

A high-quality kitchen with dual-aspect windows allowing natural light to flood the space. Fitted with granite work surfaces, a walk-in pantry, and a comprehensive range of eye and base-level units, the kitchen combines functionality with stylish design. Integrated appliances include a fridge, separate freezer, and washing machine, all neatly housed within the cabinetry. A large inset sink with mixer tap sits beneath one of the windows, offering a lovely garden outlook.

There is a dedicated recess for a range cooker, which may be available by separate negotiation. A practical breakfast bar comfortably seats two, ideal for casual dining or morning coffee. A glazed door provides direct access to the rear garden, enhancing the flow of the home and linking indoor and outdoor living.

Landing

A well-proportioned landing provides access to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a separate WC. There is also access to a boarded loft, offering useful additional storage and potential for future use.

Bay-Fronted Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering ample space for wardrobes or fitted storage. A stunning bay window overlooks mature greenery, creating a bright and tranquil setting.

Bedroom Two

Almost equal in size to the principal bedroom, this generous double room is positioned at the rear of the home and benefits from open views over the garden. It comfortably accommodates wardrobes, a desk, and drawers.

Bedroom Three

A comfortable single bedroom currently used as a single bedroom, with space for a bed, chest of drawers, and a compact home office setup. Ideal as a child’s room, guest space, or a quiet place to work from home.

BATHROOM & WC

Family Bathroom

Recently renovated to a high standard, the bathroom is fully tiled in wet areas and features a walk-in double shower with the thermostat and controls positioned externally for ease of use. There is also a full-size bath, a heated towel rail, and a stylish vanity unit with under-sink storage — perfect for keeping surfaces clutter-free.

Separate WC

Located next to the bathroom, the WC features half-height wall tiling, a frosted glazed window for natural light, and tiled flooring.

Rear Garden

The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a real highlight of this home. It features a well-maintained lawn and mature borders with strategic planting designed to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons.
