Hopwood Bank, Horsforth, LS18

A peaceful setting in the heart of Horsforth, generous period rooms and stunning woodland views towards Leeds city centre. This Yorkshire stone home brings together the convenience of a central address with a lovely sense of privacy, just seven minutes’ walk from Town Street, a short walk from Horsforth School and around ten minutes on foot from the train station.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation includes four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a welcoming kitchen, with high ceilings, stripped timber floors and character fireplaces throughout. Gardens to the front and rear, parking for two cars and no onward chain complete the picture.

The location makes everyday life wonderfully straightforward. Walk into Town Street for coffee, independent shops or an evening meal, reach school without taking the car, or head to the station for the commute. Back at home, the quiet setting and leafy outlook feel comfortably removed from the bustle.

A welcoming hallway opens into two substantial reception rooms. The lounge has a lovely balance of light and character, with windows to two sides, timber floorboards, deep skirtings and a period cast iron fireplace. The separate dining room is equally inviting, centred around an exposed brick inglenook fireplace with fitted cupboards to either side. There is space here for family gatherings, relaxed evenings or a quieter snug.

On the lower ground floor, the tanked kitchen adds another distinctive living space. Blue Shaker cabinetry, solid timber worktops and Yorkshire stone flags sit naturally alongside the Aga and an original cast iron range, retained as a character feature. There is room for a breakfast table, making this a sociable setting for everyday meals.

In addition there is a large utility room/boot room offering space to deal with lifes practicalities and a further WC.

The first floor has two generous double bedrooms, both with period fireplaces and timber floors. The principal bedroom enjoys a particularly beautiful outlook across woodland towards Leeds city centre, with fitted storage adding everyday practicality. The family bathroom includes a separate shower, bath and a ceramic basin set on a timber vanity shelf.

Two further double bedrooms occupy the top floor, sharing a Jack and Jill shower room. This level offers useful flexibility for older children, guests or working from home.

Outside, the front decking provides a place to sit, alongside block-paved parking for two cars and a useful storage shed. To the rear, an enclosed garden combines a paved terrace with a level lawn, mature borders and gated access to the footpath.

A characterful home with room to grow, in a setting that puts so much of Horsforth within walking distance.
