The property has the great advantage of having no onward chain and is really ready to move in on completion

This four-bedroom detached house sits in a quiet cul-de-sac just off Canal Lane in Lofthouse. It is in excellent condition throughout and comes with no onward chain, so a move before Christmas is realistic. With a kitchen diner, two reception rooms and a west-facing garden that connect easily, it is also a house built for having people over.

The location
The house backs onto open countryside and woodland. Further afield are river and canal walks, plus Stanley and Lofthouse Nature Reserves. The village of Stanley is a short walk away, with shops, a medical centre, a chemist and several pubs. Two junior schools are within easy walking distance, and there is a choice of three secondary schools nearby. Local football, rugby and cricket clubs cater for all ages.

Leeds and Wakefield are both easy to reach, and the M62, M1 and A1 are close by. Outwood Station is a five-minute drive away.

Downstairs
The front door opens into a hallway with space for coats and shoes and access to both floors. The main lounge (4.0m x 4.0m) is a comfortable family room with a large window and understairs storage.

Off the lounge is the open-plan kitchen diner (6.2m x 3.0m), fitted with a generous range of wall and base units, a built-in fridge freezer and a double Belfast-style sink. The window above the sink looks over the rear garden. There is room for a full table of guests, and whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.

The second reception room (4.15m x 2.0m) works well as a snug or a second space for guests. It has wooden flooring, two windows and patio doors that open directly onto the garden, so on warm days the party can move outside and back again with no fuss. Beyond the kitchen, a separate utility room has space for a washer and dishwasher, cupboards and a side door, which keeps the everyday laundry out of sight when friends are round. There is also a tiled downstairs WC.

Upstairs
There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite, and two further double bedrooms also have fitted wardrobes. The single bedroom would suit a home office if you don’t need it for sleeping. The family bathroom (3.0m x 2.0m) has a bath with overhead shower, a vanity unit, WC and a heated towel rail, all in black and white tiling. With the en suite and downstairs WC, there are three toilets in the house, which helps when everyone is staying.

Outside
The west-facing rear garden is enclosed and laid partly to lawn and partly to patio, with a dedicated barbecue area. It catches the sun through the afternoon and evening, and the open countryside beyond makes a pleasant backdrop for family get-togethers, summer barbecues or a quiet cup of tea. The patio doors from the second reception room open straight onto the terrace, so the house and garden work together when you’re entertaining.

There is a children’s summer room, which gives younger members of the family a space of their own, and a separate storage shed for garden equipment.

At the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for up to three cars in addition to the integral garage, which has electric doors. This is useful when family and friends visit. A small front garden completes the frontage.
