A substantial four bedroom Victorian through terrace extending to approximately 1,196 sq ft, with a further three room basement of around 371 sq ft offering excellent potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The property combines generous Victorian proportions, high ceilings, original architectural detailing and period character with flexible accommodation arranged over three principal floors.

Ground Floor

The entrance hallway retains original cornicing and attractive Victorian decorative plasterwork, immediately introducing the property's period character.

The bay fronted reception room is a bright and characterful main living space, with high ceilings and intricate ceiling detailing.

To the rear is a spacious kitchen diner fitted with solid IKEA birch wood units, an electric oven with ceramic hob, stainless steel sink unit, tiled splashbacks and wall mounted gas boiler.

There are recessed spaces for a washing machine and tumble dryer, pleasant views over the rear garden and comfortable space for a dining table seating four to six people. A door provides direct access outside.

First Floor

The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom overlooks the front elevation and benefits from fitted wardrobes positioned either side of the bed.

The second double bedroom overlooks the rear and incorporates a built in mezzanine style sleeping arrangement, useful storage beneath and its own wash hand basin.

A separate WC with wash hand basin is also located on this level.

Second Floor

The second floor offers two further double bedrooms together with the main bathroom.

The larger bedroom benefits from both a Velux roof window and an original Victorian gable dormer window overlooking the front elevation, alongside excellent eaves storage and ample room for freestanding furniture.

The fourth bedroom is another comfortable double, overlooking the rear and offering useful eaves storage together with space for wardrobes or a home working area.

The family bathroom comprises a three piece suite with bath and electric shower over, wash hand basin and low level WC.

Basement

One of the property's most interesting features is the substantial three room cellar, extending to approximately 371 sq ft.

Currently accessed externally from the rear, the basement is not connected internally to the main accommodation. However, the original cellar staircase leading from the kitchen diner remains in place, albeit presently closed off, offering the possibility of reinstating internal access.

Subject to the necessary consents, Building Regulations approval and appropriate professional advice, there may be scope to incorporate this area into the principal accommodation, potentially creating approximately 1,567 sq ft of overall internal space across four levels.

Outside

The property is set back from Bentley Lane behind a low maintenance front garden enclosed by a boundary wall, with steps rising to the front entrance.

A particularly attractive architectural detail is the restored Victorian bay window, which retains its original proportions and decorative features following the installation of double glazing. The seller advises that this is the only property in the terrace to have retained and restored these original features in this way.

To the rear is an enclosed, low maintenance yard offering useful outdoor space with scope for attractive planting. Its generous width provides room for outdoor dining and barbecues, an arrangement enjoyed by previous residents, while also incorporating external access down to the basement.

Heating and Condition

The property benefits from gas central heating with conventional radiators, double glazing throughout, a Viessmann gas boiler, a mains interlinked smoke and heat alarm system and a fitted intruder alarm.

The owner advises that the property was fully rewired in 2002 and has undergone regular electrical inspection and certification since.

The current EPC rating is D and the property is in Council Tax Band C.

Location

Bentley Lane occupies an excellent position in Meanwood, with Waitrose, Aldi and a strong selection of independent cafés, bars, restaurants and local shops around a four minute walk away.

Meanwood Park and surrounding green space are also close by, while regular bus services provide straightforward access into Leeds city centre and across north Leeds.

Headingley can be reached on foot via Headingley Ridge in around ten minutes, offering a wider range of shops, leisure and social amenities while the property remains pleasantly removed from the busier student areas.

Chapel Allerton, Moor Allerton Shopping Park, David Lloyd, local schools and further supermarkets are also within easy reach, together with convenient road links towards the Leeds Outer Ring Road, Harrogate, Wetherby and the wider motorway network.

Tenure and Seller Position

The property is freehold and is offered with vacant possession.

Previously operated as a high quality professional rental, it now presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer to create a substantial and characterful family home in one of north Leeds' most popular residential locations.
