Thornhill Drive, Calverley, Pudsey, West Yorkshire, LS28

A distinctive four-bedroom detached home of historic elegance and modern luxury. Rare opportunity to acquire this exceptional detached former stone gate house, originally dating back to circa 1865, and set within one of Calverley’s most idyllic semi-rural locations. Blending period charm with thoughtful modern updates, this remarkable home has been beautifully reimagined by its current owners to create an elegant and versatile four-bedroom residence, offering seamless indoor–outdoor living and timeless character throughout. Bursting with bespoke craftsmanship and original features, the property delivers a standard of comfort and style seldom found on the open market — a one-of-a-kind home that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

LOCATION
Nestled along the highly regarded Thornhill Drive, this historic property enjoys an enviable setting close to the heart of Calverley village — known for its strong community spirit, independent shops, charming local pubs, and easy access to the stunning surrounding countryside. Perfectly positioned between Leeds and Bradford, the home offers excellent commuter links, nearby train stations at Apperley Bridge and Horsforth, and access to a range of highly regarded schools. With miles of scenic walks and panoramic views literally on your doorstep, this is a location that beautifully balances rural tranquillity with modern convenience.

GROUND FLOOR
Stepping through the original front door, the welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone with heritage tiled flooring and period detailing. At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen/diner, a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern living. Featuring bespoke shaker cabinetry, solid oak worktops, and a Belfast sink, this space also includes room for a range-style cooker, integrated appliances, and a sociable dining area. With Yorkshire stone flooring, a Clearview multi-fuel stove, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams, it’s a room brimming with warmth and character. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, framing picture-perfect countryside views. Adjacent to the kitchen is the cosy family snug/lounge, complete with a striking exposed stone fireplace, multi-fuel stove, and serene garden outlook. From here, you’ll find Bedroom Two, Bedroom Four, the Office/Sitting Room, and stairs leading to the first floor. Bedroom Two enjoys dual-aspect windows and an original fireplace recess, offering a bright and spacious double room full of period charm. Bedroom Four features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and an exposed stone wall — a character-filled and comfortable retreat. The Office/Sitting Room is a standout feature, with bi-folding doors to the garden, bespoke wardrobes, and vaulted ceilings with Velux windows, making it ideal for working from home or relaxing in style. Beyond this, the former garage has been thoughtfully converted to create Bedroom Three — a spacious, part-finished double room with scope to add double doors to the garden, allowing buyers to complete it to their own specification. The family bathroom completes the ground floor, offering a traditional finish with a freestanding roll-top bath, heritage fittings, and part wood-panelled walls — perfectly in keeping with the home’s timeless aesthetic.

FIRST FLOOR
A private staircase from the living room leads to the Principal Bedroom, a charming double with an exposed chimney breast and delightful countryside views. This tranquil space also benefits from a stylish en suite wet room, complete with overhead shower, floating basin, and low-flush WC.

OUTSIDE
Occupying a generous and beautifully landscaped plot, the property’s stone façade is framed by mature planting and far-reaching countryside views across open fields. The gardens are designed for relaxation and entertaining, with multiple seating areas that capture the best of the surroundings throughout the seasons. Bi-folding doors from the office and double doors from the kitchen-diner create a wonderful indoor–outdoor flow. To the front, a private driveway provides ample off-street parking, leading to the former garage — now converted into a versatile third double bedroom. Across the lane, there is the option to lease approximately one-third of an acre of woodland garden from Thornhill Estates — perfect for those seeking extra outdoor space or a peaceful nature retreat, complete with workshops and storage areas.
