Description

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY for a single person or for a business couple/retirement or even a small family (in terms of numbers) to purchase this PURPOSE BUILT SECOND FLOOR APARTMENT which has been in the SAME VERY HAPPY OWNERSHIP FROM NEW (about 2005) and we understand were one of the first (if not the first) occupants of the apartments in Time Square! The apartment is in SURELY ONE OF THE BEST POSITIONS on this sought after development to benefit from AN OPEN OUTLOOK over part of the VERY PLEASANT, COMMUNAL, WELL MAINTAINED LANDSCAPED GROUNDS and has the further advantage of NO OTHER PROPERTIES' WINDOWS FACING. The VERY GENEROUS ACCOMMODATION includes THREE BEDROOMS (featuring a third bedroom of very good size) and the main bedroom has the benefit of AN EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with an opening window for natural ventilation and providing good natural light. THE VERY WELL LIT, OPEN PLAN LOUNGE AND ADJOINING DINING AREA is of VERY GOOD SIZE for relaxed living and also for entertaining and which, when combined with the IMPRESSIVE RECEPTION HALL (virtually a room in itself!) is ideal for parties and larger family gatherings. There is also access from the lounge to A SOUTHERLY-FACING BALCONY with space for an item or two of garden relaxation furniture or for tubs of shrubs and plant displays. Although the property has A RELATIVELY NEW GAS CENTRAL HEATING BOILER (installed in the latter part of 2023), it is now IN NEED OF SOME FURTHER UPDATING and SHOULD RESPOND WELL and this VERY REALISTIC "GUIDE" PRICE has been SET TO ALLOW FOR THIS! There is LIFT ACCESS TO ALL FLOORS (if required), AN AUDIO ANSWER ENTRY SYSTEM to the building and A SECURE PERSONAL NUMBERED CAR PARKING SPACE under the apartments.

AMENITIES:

The apartment is VERY CONVENIENTLY LOCATED on the WEST PARK/FAR HEADINGLEY BORDER to the north-west of Leeds (barely five miles from the city centre) and is ideally placed for comfortable daily commuting, by car, to the commercial centres of Leeds and Bradford and also the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. Regular public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university, are on the nearby Otley Road (only a few minutes walk) and in the other direction, also on Otley Road, there are public transport facilities to the historic, active market town of Otley and the former spa town of Ilkley with connections to Skipton. Excellent shopping facilities can be found in Headingley centre, Horsforth, Moortown and Meanwood with a choice of supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Morrisons and all of which are within about 10 minutes drive.

'

Golden Acre Park and delightful open countryside are approximately 10-15 minutes drive and Golden Acre Park is also on a bus route from Otley Road. Leeds Bradford Airport is about 20 minutes drive. The Village Hotel and leisure club barely 10 minutes walk and the "VIBRANT" AREA OF HEADINGLEY is a short bus ride or about 20 minutes walk and has a mix of trendy bars and traditional pubs, popular restaurants and many other eating places. Other leisure facilities include both the Headingley cricket and rugby grounds and Cottage Road Cinema. Beckett Park is also within easy reach and provides delightful walks and rambles and open recreational space in a lovely setting.

DIRECTIONS:

FROM OUR NORTH LEEDS PROPERTY SHOWROOM IN WEST PARK proceed on Otley Road in the direction of Headingley, for barely one fifth of a mile and at the FIRST SET OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS turn right into THORNBURY AVENUE. Proceed forward BEYOND the mini roundabout by the "CRESCENT" SHAPED AREA OF PARKLAND (which enhances the appeal of the development) and continue almost to the far end, when Carisbrooke Road is then on the right.
