Newlaithes Road, Horsforth, LS18

This sublime period property dating from 1906, boasting five double bedrooms, is located on the North-Westerly side of Newlaithes Road and benefits from an elevated position, enjoying open views over the Aire Valley. Located in the Horsforth conservation area, and without doubt, upon first sight, the imposing exterior radiates serious curb appeal. 

Throughout the house, delightful period features, including original cornicing, have been lovingly restored and sympathetically updated - carefully blending the original with the new; creating a truly appealing, stylish, family home for generations to come. All the facilities that exclusive Horsforth has to offer are very close to hand; yet the house enjoys a tranquil outlook with a pleasant rear garden along with a garage and off-street parking. Situated in one of Horsforth’s most desirable postcodes, one would be hard pressed to find a more alluring position for a unique family home.

The building’s period credibility is immediately evident from its authentic exterior: Yorkshire stone walls, ornate windows and an impressive front door raise expectations, but nothing quite prepares one for the delights within. The interior of the house is awash with original features, including original fireplaces, doors and intelligent use of light and space. At the centre of this house there is a timeless, breathtaking hall befitting this beautiful, family home. 

The living room is elegant and bright: a huge bay window floods the room with natural light and accentuates the traditional features. The lounge area is centred on the open fireplace and what better place could there be for curling up with a book after a hard day?

The spacious, bay-fronted sitting room spills off the dining kitchen, creating a perfect space in which to relax and unwind after supper with friends. Imagine burning the midnight oil in front of the cast iron log burner as the embers die down on a winter’s evening. This area’s open-plan nature makes it the beating heart of the house - where individual family members can co-exist, yet have the freedom to find a space in which to be themselves. 

The impressive dining/kitchen sits at the back of the house. All one could ever need for an intimate evening in or flamboyant entertaining is here: this includes a range cooker with double oven, five ring gas hob, dishwasher, recess space for full height fridge freezer and also plenty of cupboard space and storage for all culinary needs and non-perishable essentials. We love the utility room discreetly tucked away at the back of the kitchen, with a sink, an integral half height fridge and a full height freezer, lots of storage space and plumbing and venting for a washing machine and a tumble dryer - there is also a practical and convenient downstairs WC.

To the first floor there are four double bedrooms - three of which have original fireplaces. There is a fifth room, tucked off of the landing, which is currently used as a home office and has glorious views towards open countryside and the canal. Every room is blessed with period features and an inimitable quirkiness that dates back to the origins of this unique home.

The family bathroom comprises a four-piece suite to include: a ball and claw bath, a walk-in shower, a WC and a wash hand basin. It is the perfect size for any growing family. 

To the second floor, there is a lavish spacious master suite consisting of a double bedroom with double Velux windows and an oak door leading to a dressing room. In addition, there is a three piece ensuite shower room with a large walk-in shower.

The mature rear garden is bathed in afternoon and evening sunlight, offering  an inviting setting for entertaining friends and family, as well as finding one’s own intimate spot on the decking for a little ‘me’ time. 

There is a beautifully landscaped garden to the front of this impressive family home as well as  a smart brick- block paved driveway- leading to a detached garage. An EV charging point and ample off-street parking are also to be found on the front of the house.  A gateway leads down the side of the house and into the rear garden.
