5 Woodnook Close, Leeds

OPEN DAY VIEWING ON SATURDAY THE 17th OF JAN, FROM 1:30 pm. PLEASE BOOK ONLINE/CALL24/7 TO RESERVE YOUR APPOINTMENT.

I just love my job...Why...because every day is different...and often filled with nice surprises. Seeing this house for the first time, fulfilled all 3.

It's micro position is good...situated just beyond the top of a small road/cul-de-sac, and a short way along a quiet grassed walkway. It is set down on the left handside...so I would imagine it enjoys a tranquil setting matched by a lovely private south-facing back garden that is not overlooked by houses opposite. That is my initial viewpoint, but you should really come and see this for yourself, but I am sure you will agree with me. As ex-local authority houses go, this one has good-sized balanced family accommodation, a conservatory and has been well-maintained and modernised.

There are 2 entrance hallways (ask me why later) an elegant living room, conservatory, 3 generous bedrooms and a rather swish contemporary bathroom. Add a private, sunny garden into the mix and...Bob...is my uncle. All good reasons as to why you should call us 24/7 or jump onto the tinterweb and reserve yourself a viewing slot on the big day.

So what about the amenities, I hear you ask? Cookridge has continued to be popular and a sought-after location due to an abundance of these. Lots of different sizes and shapes of shops of all kinds, ranging from supermarkets in Cookridge, Holt Park, and Horsforth, to the traditional corner shops, just about everywhere. Doctors, dentists, and schools for children of all ages are catered for, within the immediate vicinity. Being on the edge of the countryside, there is a particularly nice walk over nearby fields to Golden Acre Park. There are numerous recreational facilities in proximity with Horsforth and Cookridge golf clubs being the closest. For those of you who wish to move at a faster pace of life, gyms and sports clubs too. If you throw into the mix, nice pubs, restaurants, and wine bars, there is more than enough going on to suit most palates. For commuters, there are regular bus services, good road and rail links (Horsforth station), as well as Leeds and Bradford International Airport. 

Tenure: Freehold. EPC: Band C75. Potential C80. Council Tax: Band C.

Information received relating to flood risk:- Rivers and Seas...very low...Surface water...low. 

This type of property is often referred to as an ex-council Airey house. I am very pleased to report that works were carried out in accordance with the drawings and specifications and the other requirements to the Leeds System 1 Airey House Sepair Scheme, PRC Licence No.33, (The Repair System) devised by Leeds City Council's former department of Public Works. The remedial repairs carried out as part of the Works, replaced certain concrete and structural elements and external cladding panels with traditional construction block and brickwork cavity wall. The property is also classified as NTHAS Category 4...The council can confirm that the adjoining property was repaired at the same time by Leeds City Council to the same specification and is also classified as NTHAS Category 4. The repair specification put in place by the council was that a full repair was carried out. In my experience, when these houses have undergone these works, they are very saleable and readily mortgageable also.

Entrance Hall

4.14m x 1.06m - 13'7" x 3'6"
(maximum measurements to include the staircase) Composite double-glazed front entry door and a radiator. Access to the staircase and the living room.

Entrance Hall

2.5m x 0.79m - 8'2" x 2'7"
What a great idea? 2 hallways...so if you have pets, you don't have to have them coming straight through your living room if you have been out for a walk ...makes perfect sense. Here, we have another double-glazed composite door, a recessed storage area and 2 storage cupboards. Access to the kitchen.

Living Room

5.35m x 3.04m - 17'7" x 9'12"
A nicely decorated, cosy living room incorporating a feature fireplace and a living flame effect gas fire. There is a radiator and twin double-glazed doors that open into the conservatory. access also into the kitchen.

Conservatory

2.71m x 2.46m - 8'11" x 8'1"
What I love about conservatories at the back of the house is that they literally make you feel that you are sitting out in the garden...in all weathers. This conservatory does just that, especially as the garden is so nice, is good-sized and enjoys a private southerly aspect. The conservatory has a wood grain effect laminate flooring, is fully double-glazed glazed and has double doors that open into the garden.

Kitchen

3.9m x 2.5m - 12'10" x 8'2"
There is a good range of wall and floor units in a white finish, complemented by granite-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks. Enhancements include split-level cooking comprising a Belling electric oven, a 5-ring gas hob which has an extractor hood above it. There is plumbing for a washer and space for a fridge/freezer. Breakfast bar, a stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap and a composite back door that takes you straight onto a patio...great for entertaining...particularly as the rear of the house has a southerly aspect.

First Floor Landing

2.7m x 0.86m - 8'10" x 2'10"
There is a radiator and access to the loft.

Bedroom 1

3.93m x 3.4m - 12'11" x 11'2"
(Maximum measurements into the recess). Here, there are full-height fitted wardrobes to 1 wall. Radiator and double-glazed windows. Being southerly facing, there is lots of natural light. What I especially like about this room is the outllook...no houses directly overlooking opposite and leafy views...so nice to wake up to every morning.

Bedroom 2

3.24m x 2.41m - 10'8" x 7'11"
There is a useful built-in cupboard/wardrobe. radiator and double glazing. Again, nice views over the front garden and the grass walkway, beyond.

Bedroom 3

3.09m x 2.15m - 10'2" x 7'1"
not a bad size for a 3rd bedroom, I think? Again, there is a radiator, double glazing and those same views as bedroom 1.

Bathroom

2.44m x 1.36m - 8'0" x 4'6"
What a lovely surprise! (check out the photo). Here we have a contemporary white suite that has a rectangular bath with central taps and a mains-fed shower unit above it and curved glass screening to the side. There is a vanity hand wash basin which has cupboards underneath it. Low-level W.C., and full height tiling to the walls and floor. There is a swish, ladder-style radiator, an extractor fan and a double-glazed window.

Exterior

FRONT...The property is located just beyond the head of a small cul-de-sac. I have been to the property 3 times and always found space to park. Walk down the grassed walkway a short distance and the property will be on the left-hand side. I quite like what appears to be a quiet, off-the-beaten-track setting. There are steps that lead down to the front of the house. There is a planted garden area in front of it and a pathway that leads to both entrance halls.

Exterior

BACK... So...what is the perfect accompaniment for a rather nice house? A good-sized private and sunny back garden, of course! Immediately to the back of the house, accessed from both the conservatory and the kitchen, there is an enclosed patio area. Then we have a timber deck, lawn, a further garden area and a shed. I love this garden as it is private, as it does not have houses overlooking it at the back.
