Elmete Drive, Roundhay, Leeds, LS8

A truly charming two double bedroom detached home in the heart of Roundhay, offering a rare combination of period character, thoughtful modernisation and an exceptional degree of privacy, together with a private driveway and beautifully landscaped gardens.

This unique property has been sympathetically enhanced over recent years, retaining the character and charm of its late 19th-century origins whilst providing a comfortable and highly practical home for modern living.

Beautifully screened from the road by mature planting and established hedging, the property enjoys wonderful kerb appeal and a real sense of seclusion.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides a wonderfully versatile layout, with two generous reception rooms, a separate kitchen, useful study, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, together with excellent outside space.

The property is approached via a private driveway, providing off street parking for numerous vehicles. The mature gardens and established planting create an immediate sense of privacy, whilst the attractive stone façade, pitched roof and traditional detailing give the property unmistakable period charm.

In brief, the property comprises a welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring, which continues through much of the ground floor.

The open plan sitting/dining room has been naturally arranged into two distinct areas; the sitting room provides a cosy space to relax infront of the log-burning stove, while the dining area offers plenty of room for a large dining table. Together, the space works equally well for everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen sits towards the rear of the property and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden.

Fitted with a good range of contemporary units and work surfaces, there is ample space for everyday cooking, with a door providing direct access onto the garden, making it particularly convenient for summer dining and entertaining. The kitchen also benefits from a useful adjoining utility room, providing additional storage and practical space for laundry, together with a separate downstairs WC.

Completing the downstairs layout, a study provides a dedicated home-working space, tucked discreetly away from the principal living accommodation.

Upstairs, the property provides two excellent bedrooms. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, with fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage.

* There is also potential to create a third bedroom above the kitchen, subject to the necessary planning permission and building regulations approval. This offers an exciting opportunity to further enhance the accommodation and adapt the property to suit individual requirements.

The modern tiled bathroom is perfectly positioned to serve both bedrooms.

Outside, the house is beautifully screened from the road, with mature hedging, established trees and carefully considered planting creating a wonderful sense of privacy. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a mixture of lawn, planted borders and seating areas, offering colour, texture and interest throughout the seasons.

To the rear, the property enjoys a beautifully private and well-established garden, with a generous lawn, mature planting and a secluded decked seating area, creating a lovely space to relax and entertain.

A covered timber gazebo provides an additional seating area, whilst the mature hedging and planting give the garden an excellent degree of privacy and a peaceful feel. There is also direct access from the house, making the garden particularly practical for everyday use and summer entertaining.

To the side, a private gated driveway provides off street parking.
