The Gables, Upper Syke, Clayton Lane, Clayton, Bradford

Why We Love The Gables
The Gables is a truly distinctive Victorian residence, combining impressive period architecture with beautifully presented modern interiors and an exceptional amount of accommodation.

Originally built in 1888, this remarkable Grade II listed property offers an abundance of character while providing the space and flexibility required for modern family living.

Arranged over three floors, the property offers five spacious bedrooms, three reception rooms, a superb dining kitchen, multiple bathrooms, a useful cellar, extensive parking, a substantial double garage and a private enclosed garden.

From the moment you arrive, the property's character and presence are immediately apparent. The gated entrance opens onto a generous driveway providing ample parking and leading to the impressive stone-built double garage.

Inside, the property continues to impress, with a wealth of original and period-inspired features complemented by tasteful contemporary decoration, creating a home that feels both elegant and welcoming.

A Grand Entrance
The recently renovated porch provides a fitting introduction to this exceptional home, featuring attractive tile-effect panelling and a beautiful tiled floor.

Beyond this, the impressive reception hallway immediately showcases the character of the property. A striking Victorian oak balustrade, porcelain tiled flooring with gold marbling and elegant modern décor combine to create a welcoming entrance with genuine period appeal.

The hallway provides access to the principal reception rooms and dining kitchen, while the beautiful staircase leads towards the upper floors.

Impressive Dining Kitchen
The dining kitchen measures approximately 4.62m x 4.10m (15'2" x 13'5") and provides an excellent social and family space.

The fitted kitchen incorporates a range of wall and base units, generous work surfaces and ample storage, together with a one-bowl sink and drainer. A large range cooker with gas hob provides an excellent focal point for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining.

The generous proportions allow plenty of room for a substantial dining table, making this a fantastic space for family meals and entertaining guests.

Elegant Reception Rooms
The property benefits from three reception rooms, offering an exceptional degree of flexibility.

The impressive dining room, measuring approximately 5.03m x 4.93m (16'6" x 16'2"), is open-plan through twin arches to the lounge, creating an impressive and sociable entertaining area.

Tasteful décor, plush carpeting and a traditional period stove with an elegant marble surround add warmth and character.

The lounge, measuring approximately 5.23m x 4.34m (17'2" x 14'3"), is another particularly impressive room. Double windows to two elevations allow an abundance of natural light to flood the space, while the stunning chandelier, plush carpets and period coal fire with marble surround create an elegant yet comfortable environment.

A further reception room/study provides additional versatility and could be used as a home office, snug, hobby room or additional sitting room. A Velux window allows natural light into the room.

A convenient WC is also located on this level, with access to the property's extensive cellar.

The space could provide an excellent solution for families requiring additional storage, with the potential for alternative uses subject to any necessary consents and permissions.

Shower Room
A further shower room completes the second floor and comprises a three-piece suite with shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC, together with part-tiled walls.

Outside
Externally, The Gables offers a wonderful combination of privacy, parking and outdoor space.

The property is approached via a gated driveway, providing an impressive entrance and extensive off-road parking. There is ample space for a large family and multiple vehicles.

The double stone-built garage provides secure parking for two vehicles together with excellent additional storage. Its substantial construction and generous proportions also offer versatility for a variety of practical uses, subject to any necessary permissions.

The enclosed garden is surrounded by mature trees, creating a secluded and private environment. The established greenery gives the garden a wonderful sense of tranquillity and provides an attractive backdrop to this impressive period residence.

A Truly Special Home
The Gables is much more than a conventional family property. Its combination of Victorian heritage, Grade II listed status, generous proportions and beautifully presented accommodation gives it a distinctive character that is increasingly difficult to find.

With five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a large dining kitchen, multiple bathrooms, cellar, gated driveway, substantial double garage and private enclosed garden, the property offers an exceptional amount of space and flexibility.

The modern and elegant presentation complements rather than overwhelms the property's original character, resulting in a home that feels both sophisticated and genuinely welcoming.
