A Substantial Late Victorian Family Home in a Prime Conservation Area – Oak Road, Potternewton, Leeds

Nestled on the picturesque and tree-lined Oak Road within the desirable Potternewton Conservation Area, this generously proportioned late Victorian semi-detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home that has been in the same ownership for over 40 years. With its elegant architecture, high ceilings, period features, and spacious accommodation spread over three floors plus a full footprint cellar, the property offers the perfect canvas for sympathetic modernisation.

Ideally located, the home benefits from excellent transport links to Leeds city centre and surrounding areas, falls within catchment for several highly regarded schools, and is just moments from the vibrant Chapel Allerton with its eclectic mix of restaurants, cafés, bars, independent shops, and everyday amenities.

Accommodation

A characterful wooden entrance door with glazed side panels opens into a bright entrance hallway with sash window and fitted cupboard housing the fuse box.

The reception hallway is generously sized and gives access to the main ground floor rooms, the cellar, and stairs to the upper floors.

To the rear, the kitchen features a sash window to the side and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, sink, oven, and hob.

Adjacent is a charming breakfast room, still retaining the original servants’ bells, with a window overlooking the garden, a cast iron feature fireplace, built-in cupboard, and side access.

The dining room boasts glazed French doors with matching side windows opening to the rear garden, a wooden fireplace with gas fire, picture rail, ceiling rose, and high ceilings – perfect for entertaining.

The formal lounge is positioned to the front of the house with a large bay window, sash windows, a wooden surround fireplace with cast iron fire inset, ceiling rose, and further period detailing.
