Sandhills, Thorner, Leeds, West Yorkshire

A beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom detached cottage, offering character, style and versatile living accommodation in an idyllic semi-rural setting. Complete with a detached double garage, generous parking and landscaped gardens, this exceptional home is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Occupying a picturesque position adjoining open countryside, Hillside Cottage enjoys stunning far-reaching views across paddocks and farmland while benefiting from excellent connectivity to Leeds and the surrounding road network. Originally dating back to the 18th century, this attractive stone-built residence has been sympathetically enhanced and extended to create a superb family home that successfully combines period charm with modern convenience.

The accommodation is entered via an inviting entrance porch which leads into a spacious open-plan sitting and dining room, with feature fireplace. Beyond lies the principal living room, a characterful space centred around an impressive stone fireplace with inset gas stove, complemented by French doors opening directly onto the side garden.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning dining kitchen, designed with both practicality and entertaining in mind. Featuring a striking vaulted ceiling, quality quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances including double oven, hob, extractor hood and fridge freezer, together with a central island and breakfast bar, this beautifully appointed space reflects the high standard of renovation carried out throughout the property.

To the first floor are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes and served by a stylish house bathroom fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite and luxury flooring. A spiral staircase rises from the sitting/dining room to a versatile third bedroom suite, complete with its own en-suite shower room. A concealed connecting door offers access between this suite and the main first-floor accommodation.

A private driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage featuring a mezzanine storage area and EV charging point. The fabulous gardens wrap around two sides of the cottage and have been thoughtfully landscaped to include mature planting, lawned areas, fruit trees and attractive paved seating terraces, creating a wonderful environment for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. An additional parking area is positioned at the lower end of the garden.
