Finkle Lane Gildersome, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27

The Property

Some properties offer a home. Others offer an opportunity. This individual detached residence in the heart of Gildersome village is firmly in the latter category.

Requiring a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, this substantial property presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to create something genuinely special. Occupying a remarkably generous plot and offering spacious, versatile accommodation, the property has all the ingredients to become a fabulous long-term family home for someone with the vision, imagination and investment to unlock its full potential.

Already extended to the rear of the ground floor, the property offers impressive room proportions and a sense of space rarely found in modern homes. While undoubtedly requiring updating throughout, the property appears fundamentally sound and provides an exciting blank canvas for a new owner to reimagine and transform.

And it is not simply the house that makes this such an intriguing proposition. The surrounding plot is equally impressive, offering considerable scope for landscaping, additional outbuildings and potentially further extension or development, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Ground Floor

The accommodation begins with an entrance porch which leads into a welcoming inner hallway, from where the principal reception rooms are accessed.

To the front is a large family room, featuring a generous picture window overlooking the front garden. The tall ceiling and impressive proportions create an abundance of natural light and a wonderful sense of space, providing the perfect starting point for a future stylish living room.

To the rear is a formal dining room, another excellent-sized room which benefits from patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden. With thoughtful refurbishment, this could become a fabulous entertaining space, connecting the house naturally with the extensive gardens beyond.

A particularly interesting feature is the additional ground floor workspace, previously utilised as a hairdresser's studio. With its own independent front door, this flexible space could suit a variety of uses including a home office, studio, treatment room or hobby space. Alternatively, it could be reintegrated into the main accommodation to create additional living space to suit to a new owner's requirements.

To the rear, the spacious kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units and provides a substantial footprint from which to create an impressive modern family kitchen. There is also access to a useful side utility area and ground floor WC.

For the right buyer, the ground floor offers an exciting opportunity to redesign the layout and create a contemporary open-plan kitchen, dining and family space while retaining the generous proportions and character of the original accommodation.

First Floor

The first-floor landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the house bathroom.

All three bedrooms offer good proportions and provide further scope for modernisation and individualisation, while the bathroom represents another opportunity to introduce a stylish contemporary suite as part of the overall refurbishment.

Outside

It is the size and potential of the plot that truly sets this property apart. To the front is an enclosed garden, while a driveway runs alongside the property providing valuable off-road parking.

To the rear is an extensive garden offering a fantastic opportunity to create something genuinely impressive. Currently home to a substantial outbuilding, the garden provides enormous scope for landscaping, entertaining areas, children's play space, additional storage or further outbuildings, subject to planning.

There is also considerable potential to explore further extension or development of the property, subject to the relevant planning permissions and consents.

For anyone looking to create a bespoke family home with a generous garden and genuine future potential, opportunities such as this are exceptionally difficult to find. The property is being offered at a competitive price to reflect the level of refurbishment and investment required, giving a new owner the opportunity to take on a substantial detached house and transform it into something truly remarkable.

Whether the vision is for a beautifully refurbished period-inspired family home, a contemporary detached residence with a reconfigured ground floor, or a property enhanced through thoughtful extension and landscaping, the possibilities are considerable.

Situated in the heart of Gildersome village, with its established community, local amenities and excellent access towards Morley, Leeds and the surrounding countryside, the location provides an exceptional backdrop for a project of this scale.

Rarely do properties offering this combination of detached accommodation, generous grounds, versatility and future potential come to the open market. This is a property to view with imagination and an opportunity that simply should not be missed. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, plot and possibilities on offer.
