Gledhow Valley Road, Chapel Allerton, LS7

From the moment you step inside, the home immediately feels generous. A wide entrance hallway and impressive ceiling heights create a real sense of space, setting the tone for the proportions found throughout. To the right of the entrance sits a beautifully self-contained annex, created in 2021 when the former garage was converted and extended into the garden. With its own living space, double bedroom, ensuite shower room and direct access outside, it offers superb independence for guests or multi-generational living. 

Continue through the hallway and the main living spaces begin to unfold. A separate ground floor study adds further flexibility, creating a quiet space to work, read or step away from the main living areas. The principal reception room is full of warmth and character, with a gas fire in the style of a log burner and exposed brick providing a lovely focal point. Sliding patio doors open directly onto the wrap-around decking, inviting light in and creating an effortless connection with the outdoors.

Next door, the second reception space flows into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, a beautifully sociable part of the home designed to celebrate the outlook. Extended to include bi-fold doors, this space frames the treetop views across Gledhow Valley Woods, making the greenery feel like a natural extension of the room. When the doors are open, the whole space takes on a wonderfully calming, almost retreat-like quality. A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, ideal for busy household life, while a downstairs WC and two storage cupboards add excellent everyday practicality.

The house itself has been thoughtfully designed with sloping roofs and wrap-around decking, allowing the sun to touch different parts of the home throughout the day. It is a beautiful setting for morning coffee or relaxed dining among the trees. 

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a fantastic size, with beautiful vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of light and volume. An ensuite shower room adds a lovely feeling of privacy, while two further double bedrooms on this level are both well proportioned and versatile. A main family bathroom, complete with separate bath and shower, finishes the first floor.

The grounds are what truly set this home apart. The decking area offers two separate dining spaces surrounded by treetops. Steps lead down to a further garden area, where a lovely pond overlooks the greenery and creates a peaceful spot to pause and unwind. There is also direct gated access to a particularly quiet part of Gledhow Valley Woods, a hidden stretch with no through access for others and little passing footfall. Ideal for dog walkers, adventurous children, rope swings and weekend exploring, it gives the home an extraordinary connection to nature.

For those thinking ahead, there is also scope to extend to the north side of the property, subject to the necessary permissions, offering further potential to grow into the home over time.

The location is second to none. Chapel Allerton and Oakwood are almost equidistant, placing independent cafés, restaurants, shops, Roundhay Park and excellent transport links all within easy reach. Families are particularly well served, with Chapel Allerton Primary School and Roundhay Secondary School and Sixth Form among the nearest local schools. Private, spacious and beautifully connected to its surroundings, this is a home that offers something genuinely rare: a peaceful woodland outlook, flexible living, and a prime North Leeds location all in one.
