Nunthorpe Road, Leeds

The Sunny Side of the Street

With a southeast perspective, this late Victorian two bedroomed A-rated double-glazed and gas centrally-heated end terrace cottage, built circa-1892 has much to offer. Situated in a greenbelt- and canal-adjacent salubrious conservation village, the property has undergone a recent dedicated neutral period restoration accentuating much of its 130 year-old features. Its fifteen and three-quarter inch Yorkshire stone walls keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.

Measuring just under 6 feet by just over 12, this fully tiled galley-style kitchen melds traditional and contemporary A-rated appliances complimented by a charming Yorkshire stone floor patinaed and warn from the passage of time.

Deep Victorian skirtings are complimented by an elaborate cornice and centre rose in this high-ceilinged relaxing and inviting sizeable family room, which measures 15 by 14 feet. Focussed around a traditional Adam-style working enclosed fireplace burning logs or solid fuel, it has a stairwell-concealing 130 year-old antique pine door.

Measuring 4 feet by 9, the upstairs fully-tiled period bathroom features an antique lengthy and deep ceramic bath, a matching patinaed antique shanks suite, and a designer Victorian-style Adelphi Shires washbasin with chrome period taps and fittings. The low spotlighted wooden panelled ceiling creates a calming atmosphere, whereas more than adequate water pressure ensures the integral shower generates powerful warm jets. Enclosed with bespoke doors, the highest-rated concealment glass, and a plant-friendly deep windowsill, guarantees the upmost luxuriousness and privacy.

Measuring 14 feet by just over 9, and with the recovered original Yorkshire stone lintel and fireplace, this master bedroom boasts a solid fuel and log burning stove that heats the entire storey, a 130 year-old antique pine door, and a ceiling fan for those otherwise unbearable hot summer nights.

The second bedroom measuring 7 by 9 feet enclosed by another 130 year-old antique pine door, is fitted with 1950s teak shelving that matches that of the stairs and landing, which features a wall of deep clothing- and coat-friendly storage.

20 square metres of garden includes a planted pond, astroturf lawn, and pots ripe for planting. A lengthy garden hose, an outdoor lockable waterproof British Standard 13 Amp socket, and a sizeable Leylandii hedge makes for a practical kerb-appealing package.

An extensive cellar provides lower storey access to the entire building’s footprint. Recently tanked and fully decorated and floored, it boasts dual radiators and a sump pump that can be run for an entire year for a handful of pounds sterling, that ensures the aquafer remains two feet below the surface all year round.

Extensive chimney stack and roof works undertaken, composite maintenance-free guttering the same profile as the original wooden gutter, should be good for well over 50 years. The loft is fitted with continuous layers of insulation that range between 30 to 40 centimetres which approaches eight times the recommended depth.
