Hillcrest Rise, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS16

A distinctive and characterful 1930s semi-detached family home, originally built as the architect’s own residence, perfectly combining timeless period charm with modern updates. Nestled on one of Cookridge’s most desirable and peaceful streets, this impressive home features four bedrooms, generous living space, and an exceptional rear garden that evokes the feel of a private woodland retreat. With a garage/outbuilding, off-street parking for up to three cars, and a versatile conservatory, this is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a home of warmth, space, and individuality.

At the rear of the home, the conservatory offers a flexible living space looking onto the garden. With its brand-new roof (2025) carpet and LVT flooring, it’s ideal as a second sitting room, playroom, or peaceful garden lounge.

FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four well-appointed bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The master bedroom, located at the front of the property, is a serene and spacious retreat featuring built-in wardrobes and soft carpeting. The second bedroom, a generous double, overlooks the beautiful rear garden and also benefits from fitted storage. The third bedroom offers charming garden views and is perfectly suited as a child’s bedroom or home office, while the fourth bedroom at the front provides a comfortable guest space or study. The re-designed, modern family bathroom, features a stylish corner shower, WC, and wash basin, finished with full tiling for a clean, contemporary look.

LOFT ROOM
Accessed via fitted stairs, the partially boarded loft space provides excellent storage and could easily be converted into a versatile space for hobbies, a home office, or potential future development (subject to permissions).

OUTSIDE
The front of the property presents beautifully with rendered finishes and a low-maintenance garden, along with a private driveway for 2–3 cars and access to the garage/outbuilding. The garage has been partially converted to create a practical outhouse or workshop, offering additional storage or workspace to suit a range of needs. The long rear garden is the true showstopper — a large, mature space with a woodland ambience that provides exceptional privacy and tranquillity. Featuring a large Indian stone patio on two levels, established planting, a garden pond, two greenhouses, and a garden shed, it’s a haven for nature lovers and families alike.
