Secret Garden, Leeds, LS9

Preston Baker are thrilled to offer this sustainably designed four bedroom home on Secret Garden, an exclusive riverside neighbourhood in the heart of the Climate Innovation District.

"What's special about living here is the lifestyle and community that is built around the shared spaces - the outdoor area and pub in the spring/summer, places to sit and have coffee, do yoga on the decking and walk our children to nursery. It feels secluded, yet close to the city and with it being a no car zone - the street feels safe for little ones to play out or to gather with neighbours for time outdoors" - the current owners.

Step through the front door into the entrance hall, with staircase rising to the upper floors. To your left is the spacious and inviting open-plan living space which spans the full length of the ground floor. To the front elevation, a dining area with patio doors overlooks the pretty, well-maintained gardens, with views of the river beyond. The contemporary German Pronorm kitchen is fitted with sleek, handle-less cabinetry, integrated appliances and quartz worktops. A large, central island with breakfast bar seating offers an ideal setting for food and drink preparation whilst entertaining family and guests. To the rear is a welcoming lounge area, with natural light from above via a dramatic, full-height void which draws daylight through each level, enhancing the sense of space and architectural design. Also to the ground floor is a downstairs w/c with wash hand basin, and a separate storage cupboard.

To the first floor, at the front elevation is a spacious double bedroom, currently set up as an office/second sitting room, enjoying the lovely river views. At the rear is another double bedroom, currently set up as a guest room, with a contemporary house bathroom featuring w/c, wash hand basin and shower over bath completing this level.

On the second floor, to the front is the generous master bedroom, a relaxing retreat boasting a Juliet balcony and large windows allowing lots of south-facing light, a delightful place to wake up in the morning with far-reaching views. Adjacent is a stylish en-suite shower room, with w/c, wash hand basin and walk-in shower. A fourth double room occupies the rear of this floor, with light through the full width, full height windows just under the skylight.

Externally, a south-facing decked terrace adjoining the dining area is bordered by a luscious range of planting, offering a charming place to relax with a morning coffee or evening drinks in warmer months, with steps across leading down to a large decking area on the river bank. The current owners have enjoyed entertaining larger groups on the river deck during summertime. The property includes an allocated parking space, within a gated car park at the centre of the development.

Sustainability is at the core of this property. Built using advanced SIPs panel construction for exceptional energy efficiency, the house benefits from triple glazing throughout and an MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system, ensuring fresh filtered air while retaining warmth. Solar energy is supplied via community-owned panels, and the development itself is managed by a Community Interest Company dedicated to long-term sustainability and neighbourhood stewardship.

The Climate Innovation District is widely recognised as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking sustainable communities, offering low-energy living within easy walking distance of Leeds city centre. Secret Garden forms a peaceful, green riverside setting within the development — private, tranquil and perfectly positioned.

Secret Garden enjoys close proximity to several local favourites including PigLove by the River, a popular spot for craft beer which hosts a pub quiz once a month. Next door, Greens Grocers offers fresh coffee, natural wines and fresh produce. Close by, Nova Bakehouse sells fresh pastries, with a Tesco express for convenience. Fearns provides tasty brunch and roasts, plus Pizza Express and The Canary Bar at Leeds Dock are also within easy reach. The River Aire path provides a scenic route to walk or cycle straight into the city, and it is just a short walk from the train station, Leeds Playhouse, and all of the extensive culture, dining and shopping that Leeds has to offer.
