Broadgate Avenue, Horsforth LS18

Some homes are transformed by the way they are lived in, and this two bedroom semi-detached home has been carefully extended to create a layout that feels particularly well suited to modern life.

The original character of the house remains evident at the front, where the separate living room is centred around a generous bay window, creating a comfortable and inviting space away from the more open and sociable areas beyond.

It is to the rear, however, that the house really opens up. The extended kitchen and dining space has been designed around connection, light and flexibility. A central kitchen island creates a natural focal point for cooking, conversation and everyday life, while two skylights draw additional natural light into the room from above.

The layout continues towards the rear of the extension, where there is space for a dining table alongside the doors opening onto the garden. With both sliding doors and bi-fold doors creating a strong connection between inside and out, the room feels particularly adaptable, whether used for relaxed family meals, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the changing seasons.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by the house bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from parking on the driveway, while the rear garden is also home to a detached garage, providing useful additional storage or potential for a variety of practical uses.

Set within a popular part of Horsforth, with its established mix of independent businesses, everyday amenities, schools and transport connections, the property offers a considered balance between the character of a traditional semi-detached home and the open-plan space expected from a more contemporary extension.

A home that has been adapted around the way people want to live today, with two generous bedrooms and a particularly impressive kitchen and dining space at its centre.
