Redhill Cottage, Shire Oak Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Secluded behind an historic, Grade II-listed building within a tree-lined, gated development in the heart of Headingley, Redhill Cottage is a spacious, three double-bedroom, two-reception room, stone-built, semi-detached home with generous gardens, a garage and multiple, off-street parking spaces.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with newly-fitted, composite door. With views over the spacious garden is the kitchen, fitted with a range of stainless steel-fronted units and a stainless steel worktop, an integrated oven, dishwasher and washing machine plus a hob and extractor fan. To the rear of the property is the dining room which has patio doors to a fully-enclosed back garden, whilst the well-lit, dual-aspect lounge has stripped wooden floors overlooking both the front and back of the property. The galleried first-floor landing leads to the spacious, dual-aspect main bedroom, two further double bedrooms and the house bathroom. The property is accessed through gates, and the driveway leads to a garage with parking spaces to the side and front, and an adjacent shed for storage. To the front of the property is an open, South-facing, lawned garden complete with plum tree; the side and rear gardens have been fenced for privacy and connect to the front via a high gate. There are also well-maintained, communal grounds with a beautiful magnolia tree, amongst other trees. The property has double-glazing throughout, gas central heating and had a brand-new roof covering in October 2023.

Idyllically located in a conservation area, the sound of birdsong and frequenting wildlife gives you the impression you are in the countryside; however, walk to the end of Shire Oak Road and you are in the midst of vibrant Headingley with its close proximity to a range of excellent shops, cafes, restaurants and schools, as well as a library, post office and supermarkets. There are bus and road links to Leeds city centre, the universities and hospitals, and the property is within both walking distance and short drives to several parks/leafy walks such as the Meanwood Valley Trail, Woodhouse Ridge, Meanwood Park, Golden Acre and Roundhay.

The nearby, Grade II-listed Redhill was built circa 1900 by Francis Bedford and Sidney Kitson for Edward Audus Hirst and was sympathetically converted into six apartments; Redhill Cottage is a later addition, tucked behind the main house. Whilst the cottage is leasehold (953 years left on the lease), our client informs us that permission can be obtained for various alterations/extensions; the adjoining flats have, in the past, for example, had patio doors installed and a pitched roof added.

Redhill Cottage has been a loving, family home for the last few decades and properties in this location are rarely available; early viewing is essential to avoid missing out and in order to appreciate everything this particular home has to offer.
