3 Cookridge Drive, Leeds

Well...viewing this property for the first time, was certainly a very pleasant surprise for me indeed! If ever a property could not be judged from the outside, then this has to be the very best example. Having been extended at the back and up into the loft, this is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Don't take my word for it...book yourself a viewing and I am sure that you will be very pleasantly surprised too.

It is often said that there are 3 things that you should look for when you buy a home...Location, location, location...and this has all 3 in abundance...Situated in what is considered to be one of the very best and most desirable streets in Cookridge. This is a home that combines a sizeable private back garden with modern, open-plan living, communicating effortlessly with calming outside spaces for relaxation and ease of entertaining. So if it is a fab lifestyle that you are after, this could well be the property for you!  

Having parked on the roadside or on the driveway, your guided tour will start once you have entered through the front door into the vestibule, which opens straight into an impressive reception hall. By proceeding to the end of the hallway and turning right, you will enter an elegant living room...the centrepiece of which is the brick-built chimney breast, incorporating a lovely log-burning stove. A good feature is that there are double doors that open straight onto a private enclosed, southerly facing back garden. At the head of the hallway is located a wonderful 7 metre open-plan combined living/dining/kitchen, which is to die for. There is a great breakfast island too, and double doors that also open onto the back garden, so this is ideal when entertaining inside or out. Off to the left-hand side of the hallway, is located a rather swish shower room/guest cloakroom and a utility room. The first of the double bedrooms is located at the front of the property, next to the lounge. This bedroom has a lovely feature bay window.

So...from the hallway, the staircase will whisk you smartly up to the first floor. First on the left will take you into the Master Bedroom...truly delightful. Plenty of wardrobes, drawer space and under-drawn storage too. This is a lovely,  bright, and airy room, brought about by dormer windows providing views over the back garden and also additional Velux windows. Across the landing, you will find a good-sized 3rd bedroom. Located between the two bedrooms is the family bathroom...a thing of beauty and style.

And so to the outside. There is a garden and driveway at the front, with the driveway extending down the side of the property. Plenty of parking here then. The former garage at the end of the drive, is now a store room/workshop. The back garden is good-sized and has twin patio areas,  a lawn, flowerbeds, and an apple tree. Enclosed by fencing and having a southerly aspect, privacy and sunshine are afforded.

So...there you have it...a wonderful property, in a wonderful location, providing extended family accommodation, set in private grounds, in one of the very best locations in Cookridge. Surely one to add to the very top of your house-hunting shopping list?!

So what about the amenities, I hear you ask? Cookridge has continued to be popular and a sought-after location due to an abundance of these. Lots of different sizes and shapes of shops of all kinds, ranging from supermarkets in Cookridge, Holt Park, and Horsforth, to the traditional corner shops just about everywhere. Doctors, dentists, and schools for children of all ages are catered for within the immediate vicinity. Being on the edge of the countryside, there is a particularly nice walk over nearby fields to Golden Acre Park. There are numerous recreational facilities in proximity, with Horsforth and Cookridge golf clubs being the closest. For those of you who wish to move at a faster pace of life, gyms and sports clubs too. If you throw into the mix, nice pubs, restaurants, and wine bars, there is more than enough going on to suit most palates. For commuters, there are regular bus services, good road and rail links (Horsforth station), as well as Leeds and Bradford International Airport.
