Ryder Gardens, Roundhay, Leeds

A beautiful example of an elegant 1920s villa situated of one of the most sought after cul-de-sacs in the neighbourhood, close to the edge of Roundhay Park and on the doorstep of Roundhay High School. Families of all ages will not fail to be impressed by this lovely home which has been sympathetically renovated, restored and extended by the current owners, and now offers an appealing combination of space and practicality, balancing original period character together with 21st Century comforts.

The front entrance features the original covered veranda and leads to the central focus of the house which is a large reception hall with wall panelling and a grand turned staircase with barley twist balustrading and large stained glass window on the half landing. The internal accommodation has elegantly proportioned rooms and lots of natural daylight. Off the hallway is a dual aspect living room with the original Inglenook fireplace surround, and a second sitting room/formal dining room which is currently used as a playroom. There is a cloakroom/W.C. which is the only room not to be updated but offers options for the next owners. To the rear of the house is a stylish contemporary living kitchen which has underfloor heating and enjoys a triple aspect over the gardens with lots of natural daylight provided by a rooflight, good size windows and large sliding doors. The kitchen area is fitted with an extensive range of storage and integrated appliances, with a sociable central island and breakfast bar. A useful utility can be accessed from both the hallway and the kitchen, and also houses the modern heating system. A spacious first floor landing has storage and leads to four double bedrooms, a single bedroom which is currently used as a home office, and a stylish house bathroom with underfloor heating.

Outside, the property is screened on all sides by mature hedging and has a wide gravelled driveway affording parking for several vehicles with a good size original garage. The front garden has been attractively landscaped and planted for year round interest and extends around to the side where there are established fruit trees. The rear garden is gated to both sides and is predominantly lawned for family use, with a seating area to catch the sunshine as well as a terrace for alongside the kitchen for sociable alfresco dining.
