Donnelly & Co are delighted to introduce this outstanding four double bedroom family home onto the open market. Situated on Breary Lane East, the property is to be found in one of Leeds most coveted postcodes. Nestled in the highly sought after North Leeds village of Bramhope, this majestic Crowther built house enjoys a prominent position in this semi rural idyll. Built in 1952, the house is steeped in character and, what was once a cottage, has been extended in two phases to create a 2,662 square foot family home offering a high degree of flexibility for any growing family. Bramhope is a picturesque village located in West Yorkshire. Known for its rich history and open landscapes, Bramhope offers a unique blend of rural tranquillity and easy access to urban amenities. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. With its traditional stone houses, well-regarded local primary school and a strong sense of community you will be hard pushed to find a more pleasant place to call home. Throughout the village are several useful local shops and amenities. Breary Lane features a beauty salon, a pharmacy and a gift and flower shop. The Tredgold Avenue shopping centre is home to a dry cleaner, a delicatessen, a butcher and a newsagent. Additionally, the bi-monthly farmers’ market at Memorial Hall provides residents with an array of fresh produce and hand-made crafts. Other businesses include dentists and physicians. With excellent links to Leeds City Centre (8.1 miles), Leeds Bradford International Airport (3.1miles) and Harrogate (11.1miles), the house could not be better situated for those wanting the trappings of rural life within easy access of prime locations and local amenities. The property is well set back from the quiet road and offers extensive off-street parking. In addition, there is a detached 323 square foot (approx.) double garage with power and lighting under a pitched roof (built in the vernacular style of the house and with windows fitted in 2021) offering ample space for two reasonably sized cars. Alternatively, subject to your preferences, this space could be converted into secondary living accommodation subject to the necessary consents. Behind the attractive, white rendered walls, this grand home, laden with character, is perfectly positioned for family life and entertaining. With private views stretching across the expansive front lawn, you would be hard pressed to find a more captivating outlook. The recently replaced windows (2021) interact wonderfully with the surrounding terraces, lawns and mature grounds: this beautiful home offers all you could wish for, and more. In need of some modernisation in places, this versatile and malleable home is an architect's dream and whilst it has been much loved and cared for by the current owners for over twenty five years, the time has come to pass on the baton to new custodians to treasure this home as much as they do. It is important to note that the majority of the land lies to the front of the property, below road level and set back behind an impressive dry stone wall, making the front garden remarkably private. This area has hosted many a marquee, badminton tournament and family gathering over the years and the house is far enough away from Leeds Road to be a peaceful setting for such events. At the back of the house there is also plenty of space for barbecues and entertaining friends or simply to find a quiet spot in which to read a book on a warm summer’s day. There are no less than four well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, an additional two cloakrooms and three reception rooms - which are steeped in history with appealing original features. The scale of this superb family home cannot be underestimated: it is vast, yet comfortingly homely, and it offers a rare and wonderful opportunity to purchase a unique home for decades to come. The 24’ 11’’ x 11’ 11’’ kitchen dining room connects seamlessly with the 18’ 6’’ x 11’ conservatory; it is hard to imagine this not being one vast open-plan living space one day in the future, thus creating a breathtaking kitchen, dining cum living space. As it stands, the proportions are vast as separate entities and the conservatory offers a relaxed alternative to the more formal living room for sociable gatherings: a place in which to unwind after a long day at work or the perfect area for children to play in whilst parents can keep a watchful eye. Just across the hall there is a bay-fronted snug, an ideal place for a home office or the space could be used as an additional playroom for children or young adults wanting some separation from the rest of the household. There is also a downstairs W.C, a utility room, a boiler cupboard and a useful walk-in storage room - convenient for anyone running a business from home. The 21’9’’x 10’ 1’’ dining room is impressive and has sat up to twenty people down for dinner parties and family gatherings. French doors led out into the rear garden, seamlessly interconnecting indoor and outdoor living. The 27’ x 11’ 4’’ bay-fronted living room is dual aspect and enjoys pleasant views to both the front and rear. Stripped wooden floor boards and an open fireplace make this a splendid room for special occasions, offering plenty of space for the whole family to congregate. Upstairs is approached by a most impressive galleried landing which leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The bay-fronted master suite has his and hers built in wardrobes and a particularly spacious three piece en-suite bathroom Just off the landing, there is a particularly large family bathroom with a spa bath, a separate shower and a separate toilet. The loft is boarded and there is plenty of storage space as well as a ladder and lighting. A truss roof provides an interesting architectural feature.
