Intake Lane, Rodley, Leeds

Standing proudly on Intake Lane as the very first house built on this historic Rodley road, Fairfield House is a substantial and beautifully evolved family home that blends late nineteenth-century character with exceptional modern living across three impressive floors.

The property has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced over the years, most notably through a substantial ground and first floor extension completed in 2020, which delivered a stunning open-plan kitchen, downstairs WC and a dedicated utility room. Earlier improvements include a full slate roof replacement and sash window restoration in 2012, a tanked basement in 2016, and a rewire the same year, alongside a beautifully landscaped garden.

Step inside to a welcoming ground floor where two elegant reception rooms sit either side of the staircase. The first is a wonderfully bright dual-aspect lounge, filled with light from windows on two sides, and centred around an antique marble fireplace and Gazco gas fire, with original coving and ceiling rose adding to the period charm. The second reception room offers equally generous proportions and dual-aspect windows, lending itself perfectly to use as a second lounge, home office or formal dining room.

At the heart of the home is the show-stopping kitchen, dining and living space, a true entertaining hub finished to an exceptional standard. Twin Smeg ovens, a built-in coffee machine, combination microwave oven, dual hot plate drawers, a Smeg electric and gas hob with extractor, dishwasher and two commercial-size built-in wine fridges sit alongside a Fisher & Paykel American-style fridge freezer and a Quooker hot tap over the sink. Underfloor heating runs beneath the floor throughout, while remote-controlled electric Velux windows with rain sensors flood the space with natural light. Full-width bi-fold doors open onto a matching outdoor tiled terrace for effortless indoor-outdoor living, and the room is further enhanced by a built-in surround sound and music system, a media wall with television, an electric fire, and colour-changing mood lighting, all operated by remote. A well-equipped utility room with its own electric Velux window completes the practical accommodation on this floor.

The lower ground floor provides wonderfully versatile additional living space, currently arranged as a fifth bedroom or snug with dual-aspect windows, along with a fully tanked wine storage room that benefits from a constant cool temperature, ideal for the serious collector.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to four further bedrooms. The master suite is a real retreat, with a built-in headboard and bed, restored sash windows and lovely views, complemented by an en-suite with underfloor heating. Directly opposite, the second bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows. A third bedroom overlooks the rear garden, while the fourth is currently arranged as a stylish dressing room with fitted wardrobes throughout. A family bathroom with separate bath and shower completes this floor.

Outside, the substantial and beautifully landscaped private garden is a real feature of the property, with a tiled deck matching the kitchen flooring, a fish pond, greenhouse, wendy house with electrics, and mature fruit trees to the top of the garden. A separate double garage offers roof storage and electrics, with additional gated storage behind, while two driveways and electric gates provide excellent off-road parking and security. A 4.3 kW solar panel system spans the garage and house roofs, and an outdoor power point is ready for a hot tub.
