Drummond Avenue, Far Headingley, Leeds, LS16

A CHARACTERFUL FOUR BED 1920’s SEMI in a highly sought after spot in Far Headingley. Freehold. Council Tax Band E. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

GENERAL
Could this be your forever home? On the market for the first time in 50 years, this much-loved family home provides just over 1500 square feet of living accommodation in its current configuration - with the potential to extend into the loft space if desired, as many of the neighbouring houses have done (STPP). Currently, the property comprises: a rain porch, hallway, lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility room, guest WC and a pantry to the ground floor. On the first floor are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. The property retains many charming features, which include wood panelling, a stain-glass porthole window, plate racks, original internal doors with Bakelite handles - and there is even a nod to the past in the form of the original servants’ call box located in the kitchen. There are gardens to the front and rear, plus a long driveway leading to a detached garage. Already benefiting from gas central heating and uPVC double-glazing, we expect some buyers may wish to upgrade the current fixtures and fittings to suit individual tastes; and of course there is scope to combine the breakfast kitchen with the adjacent dining room – ideal for modern day living. This is a great opportunity to purchase a well-proportioned home in a very desirable location, and AN INTERNAL VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
