Parkside Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Steeped in history and brimming with charm, this exceptional Grade II Listed detached family home occupies a truly enviable position within magnificent, mature gardens that beautifully surround the property. Featuring a traditional Yorkshire stone slate roof and offering an abundance of character, original period features and versatile accommodation, this is a unique home that perfectly combines timeless elegance with endless potential.

One of the oldest homes in Meanwood, there has been a house here since 1630 with the current configuration since 1910 and a self-contained annex built in 1966. Having been in the same family for almost 80 years, properties of this calibre rarely come to the market and is such an opportunity not to be missed.

Approached via a private driveway with two separate entrances, and off street parking for multiple cars over 2 driveways, the property enjoys an impressive sense of arrival and privacy.

The extensive grounds are a particular highlight, featuring generous, beautifully established gardens with sweeping lawns, mature trees, colourful planting and an array of peaceful seating areas, creating a wonderful setting for both family life and outdoor entertaining.

Inside, the main residence retains a wealth of original features synonymous with a home of this calibre, including traditional joinery and charming architectural details throughout. The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious living room, ideal for relaxing with family, together with a separate formal dining room, perfect for entertaining. At the heart of the home is a dining kitchen, offering ample space for everyday family living.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying its own individual character, together with a family bathroom serving the accommodation.

Adding further appeal is the adjoining self-contained annexe, offering exceptional flexibility for independent family members, guest accommodation, or those looking to work from home. The annexe benefits from its own private entrance, whilst also being accessible directly from the main house, providing the option of complete independence or seamless integration with the principal residence. The accommodation comprises a generous living and dining room, fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, creating a comfortable and versatile additional space.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a substantial double garage, a range of useful outbuildings and extensive parking. These versatile buildings present exciting opportunities for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents, whether for workshops, studios, home offices, hobby spaces or further development potential.

Planning application for a south facing garden room, and internal reconfiguration was sought and agreed in 2002. Whilst this has now lapsed, the potential for putting your own individual stamp on the property is limitless.

The surrounding area offers easy access to schools, supermarkets and excellent transport links, with the city centre 15 minutes away, and in the opposite direction 15 minutes you are in the start of the Yorkshire Dales. A unique piece of rural living that is moments away from cosmopolitan city delights and in walking distance of an award winning pub is a gem that’s worth exploring.

Properties of this nature rarely become available. Combining historic charm, substantial living accommodation, stunning gardens, versatile ancillary accommodation and outstanding scope for future possibilities, this remarkable residence offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a truly special setting.
