27 Barrowby Avenue, Leeds

Well; this is bound to set pulses racing. It certainly did mine! These are some of the words that sprang to mind at my first visit...Beautifully presented...stylish... attractive...impressive ...tasteful...and that's just the owners!! No seriously...This really is a gem of a house, that just keeps on shining. It is obvious that the current owners have spent a lot of thought, time, and money on planning how best to improve and add value to their home. This has been highly successful in the addition of fabulous extensions that are in keeping with the main house and through an imaginative program of modernisation and improvements to very high standards including many luxurious features.

This has truly resulted in the creation of a stunning and sizeable family home in one of the most sought-after locations in East Leeds. This is a house that combines modern open-plan living, communicating effortlessly with calming outside space for relaxation and ease of entertaining. 

The decor is beautiful, as are the bathrooms and guest cloakroom; but just wait until you see the open-plan contemporary dining kitchen, measuring  5.63 metres by  4.14 metres...a truly great family area with lots of WOW factors...great for entertaining internally and externally, as there is direct access to the patios within the back garden. Having converted the loft, the house boasts 3 double bedrooms and a first-floor study area (that used to be the original third bedroom). There is loads of secure off-street parking and the former garage makes for a substantial workshop/storage room. A reasonably sized semi-private, enclosed back garden is a definite plus.

Having parked on the roadside or driveway, your guided tour starts by entering through the left-hand of the two front doors, into a light, bright and airy entrance hall. The first on the left will take you into the sizeable through lounge which has a dining area, living and lounge area incorporated within it. the bay window, log burner and double doors that open onto the back garden are particularly nice features. At the head of the hallway, proceeding straight forward will take you into the fabulous open-plan dining kitchen...all fitted and equipped with lots of integral appliances and with a large breakfast island that will seat quite a few guests too. Loads of natural light and underfloor heating too, with access straight onto the back garden...great for entertaining inside and/or out. Off the kitchen via a front lobby/vestibule is the guest cloakroom and 2nd front door.

So...towards and upwards, as they say. The staircase and balustrading will not disappoint either. On the first-floor landing, there is a useful (potential) study space where the staircase to the 2nd floor has been installed...this was part of the 3rd bedroom originally. The master bedroom on this floor is located at the front of the house and enjoys the same benefits of having a bay window. The 2nd (double) bedroom is located at the back of the house, adjacent to a rather nice bathroom. So up again, will take you to the best bedroom in the house...the biggest and the best of all having a Juliet balcony and a rather swish en-suite shower room. The outside...we will come to that later...

So, if it is a fab lifestyle that you are after, then this is the one that you simply must add to your shopping list. Rarely does something as nice as this, come to the market. Please get in touch and book yourself your own viewing slot. I look forward to seeing you all on the Open Viewing day.

So what about the amenities, I hear you ask? Well...Crossgates has just about everything that you will want and probably more than you will need. All sorts and too many to mention... but do let me know if you think there are any of value that are missing. Don't tell too many people though, because if you do come up with one, you may be onto a winner! Seriously...you will not want for anything....shops, schools, buses, trains and access to the motorway networks.

Exterior

The front garden has been altered to form extensive block-paved parking, which is secured by an electric sliding front gate and personal hand gate. The driveway extends down the right-hand side of the property, providing further car parking and leads to a brick-built garage at the rear. Vehicular access to the garage may be tricky/difficult. The garage measures 5.30 metres by 3.30 metres internally (maximum) There is an up-and-over door, personal door, lighting and a power supply. The back garden has 3 distinctive patio areas...immediately to the rear of the house, accessed also from the through lounge, is a paved patio area. Beyond that, a rather nice Indian Stone circular patio and a tiled patio beyond that one. They are bordered by flowerbeds and enclosed within fencing...definitely low-ish maintenance in my opinion.

Living/Dining Room

I just love the brick fireplace with the inset log burner...ideal for spending a cosy evening with a glass of your favourite tipple, whilst taking in a movie...Nice... A contemporary radiator to match that of the one in the Lounge area, along with the tiled flooring and a super double-glazed bay window is another great feature.

Open Plan Dining/Kitchen

What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be...certainly a touch of class. This is where this house really comes into its own. It is obvious that the current owners have spent time and money deciding how best to add value and convenience to their home. This has been highly successful, shown by the alterations that have been made to this carefully planned room. This open-plan kitchen positively oozes panache and comes with lots of wow factors. There is a fabulous range of wall and floor units in a grey finish, (all having soft closures) which are complemented by extensive quartz worktops. Enhancements include split-level cooking comprising twin Bosch fan-assisted ovens, a matching microwave, and a four-ring induction hob with a contemporary extractor hood above.There is an integrated fridge, freezer, washer and dishwasher too.
