The Clock House, Gledhow, LS8

Steeped in history and full of charm, The Clock House is a truly unique two bedroom home tucked away in the heart of LS8. Built circa 1657 and originally serving as a stable, this Grade II listed property is a specific part of the historic Gledhow Hall Estate, previously owned by Queen Elizabeth I.

From the moment you enter through the secure wrought iron gates, you're greeted by the charm of Yorkshire stone, cobbled courtyards, and, of course, the striking clock tower that gives the home its name. The setting feels peaceful and private, yet it's just moments from vibrant shops, bars and restaurants.

The hallway sets the tone with its crisp white porcelain floor tiling, flowing through to a spacious living room decorated in sage green. With a feature marble fireplace, oak flooring, high ceilings and carefully chosen lighting, this inviting space blends elegance with comfort, ideal for family life or entertaining friends.

The deVOL kitchen is a true centrepiece, an extension of the original building and decorated in a bold yet refined palette of contrasting neutrals and luxurious deep brown tones. Industrial-style pendant lighting hangs above the quartz countertop featured on the island, adding drama and atmosphere, while wooden worktops along the perimeter balance warmth with practicality. Antique brass hardware, smoked, solid oak parquet flooring, and a high vaulted ceiling enhance the sense of timeless elegance and craftsmanship. This striking space has been designed for both function and style, with Crittall-style doors opening directly onto the south-west facing garden, ensuring the room is always filled with natural light and a seamless flow to the outdoors. A separate shaker-style utility room and W/C provide additional practicality while complementing the home's character.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a serene retreat, dressed in warm pink hues, with its own ensuite finished in natural stone scheme that feels spa-like and tranquil. The second bedroom benefits from a dressing area with a built-in storage alcove and is decorated with oriental themed feature walls. A family bathroom, also finished in calming stone tones, completes the first floor.

The organic garden is a real highlight, south-west facing to capture the afternoon and evening sun, it offers privacy and a sense of escape. A sun house at the far end provides the perfect retreat for work, hobbies, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment outdoors.

Situated in the highly desirable Gledhow area, The Clock House enjoys a perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. Just a short stroll away Gledhow Valley Woods. Oakwood Parade and Chapel Allerton are also close by, providing a vibrant mix of cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and bars, while excellent local schools make this an ideal spot for families. With regular transport links into Leeds city centre and easy access to major road networks, the location is as practical as it is charming.
