Clifton Drive, Leeds, LS28

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to 19 Clifton Drive - a rare and attractive stone-built period cottage, originally constructed circa 1860 as a single residence before being thoughtfully divided into three adjoining period homes. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Pudsey, beautifully restored and upgraded, this charming three-bedroom home offers a wonderful blend of character and comfort, complete with a south-facing private garden, detached garage, off-street parking, and a sought-after location just a short stroll from well-regarded schools and Pudsey town centre. This is a truly special home that perfectly balances heritage charm with modern comforts.

Step inside through the welcoming porch with an original stained glass inner door and tiled flooring that sets the tone for what’s to come.

The character-filled living room is a standout feature - a spacious yet cosy retreat featuring high ceilings with coving, original wooden flooring, and a stunning inglenook fireplace with a terracotta tile hearth and cast iron wood-burning stove. Two bespoke wooden cupboards added by the current owners sit neatly either side of the chimney breast, while a double-glazed window offers a calming view of the garden.

The stylish kitchen is equally impressive, bathed in natural light from a large side window and a charming bay window to the front. Featuring a range of white farmhouse style base and wall units, solid wood worktops, integrated dishwasher and washing machine and a five-ring gas range cooker, adding warmth and character to the heart of this fabulous home. The floor is laid with travertine tiles and features underfloor heating. There’s plenty of space for a dining table and a double-door fridge/freezer.

Just off the kitchen is a pantry/cloakroom with a small front window, offering useful storage and space for coats and boots. A new rear composite door leads out onto a small courtyard, where a brick-built outhouse currently serves as a utility room, complete with space for a dryer.

Upstairs, the landing is naturally lit by a small front-facing window and provides access to the family bathroom and the three front-facing bedrooms. There are two attics (one never used).

Bedroom one includes built-in wardrobes with space for a super king-size bed and additional furniture. Bedroom two is a good sized double and bedroom three is a charming single room with a beautiful arched window, ideal for a nursery, office, or guest room. All bedrooms are carpeted and benefit from gas central heating, double glazing, and high ceilings.

The house bathroom is stylish and fully tiled, including a solid wood floor, panelled bath with central mixer tap and shower attachment, a separate overhead shower, wash basin, W/C, and two double-glazed windows for light and ventilation.

There’s a decked seating area, a neat lawn, and an outdoor electrical socket – perfect for garden lighting or tools.
