Substantial Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Family Home – Becketts Park Road, Headingley, Leeds

Chain-Free | Probate Granted | South-Facing Garden | Large Corner Plot

Viewing: Saturday, 25th October from 10 AM – Strictly by Appointment Only

Donnelly & Co are delighted to present this exceptional 1950s semi-detached home, offering an impressive 1321 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation. Occupying a generous corner plot with a south-facing rear garden, this cherished property is significantly larger than typical homes of its type and presents an increasingly rare opportunity.

Lovingly maintained by the same family for over 50 years and set on a quiet, highly sought-after street—where the last house sale occurred in 1995—this is a once-in-a-generation chance to acquire a substantial property in one of Headingley’s most desirable residential pockets.

Probate has been granted, and the property is offered chain-free, allowing for a smooth and timely transaction.
 
A Rare 1950s Time Capsule

Constructed in the 1950s, this property remains largely untouched, with original doors, fixtures, and internal layout retained to the best of the vendor’s knowledge. Beyond regular maintenance and upkeep, no significant structural or cosmetic changes have been made, offering the incoming purchaser a chance to preserve the home’s mid-century charm or reimagine it into a contemporary family space.

The side extension potential is particularly phenomenal, subject to planning permission and building consents, providing excellent scope to future-proof the property.

Accommodation Overview

  • A particularly wide and open entrance hall welcomes you into the home and sets the tone for the generous proportions throughout.
  • The living room features an original 1950s fireplace and double doors opening through to a large formal dining room, ideal for entertaining.
  • The dining room adjoins the kitchen and could be opened up to create a light-filled, south-facing open-plan living kitchen.
  • The kitchen, though dated in style, remains functional and has aged remarkably well.
  • A rear door leads to a small hallway providing access to the former coal store and a service door to the integral garage, which is generously sized and offers conversion potential.
  • Upstairs, a spacious and naturally lit landing gives access to two large double bedrooms and a comfortable single bedroom, suitable for a single bed and wardrobe.
  • The bathroom and WC remain in their original separate configuration, offering scope for redesign.
  • Externally, the property is positioned at the end of Becketts Park Road before the junction with Becketts Park Crescent, enhancing privacy and access. The corner plot adds further potential for landscaping or expansion.

This includes viewings, negotiations, post-survey negotiations and all sales progression. Our clients tell us that they enjoy dealing direct with us, which means that nothing is lost in translation.
