INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to bring to market this two/three bedroom semi-detached property with NO CHAIN SALE. Ready to move into, yet with lots of potential for buyers to improve (and/or convert the loft / extend, subject to planning permission). Inside: On the ground floor is a large and light-filled double-aspect lounge, with patio door access to rear garden. The entrance vestibule leads to the kitchen, utility and separate storage space. The kitchen itself has fitted cupboards and worktops, plus a traditional cool pantry. Leading off the kitchen, the spacious hallway could either be used as a home office and/or to extend the kitchen and/or to add a downstairs cloakroom and front entrance. Up on the first floor there are two bedrooms and a box room, with great potential to re-organise the existing space/extend into the loft to create a third bedroom. There is a good size family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Outside: This home sits on a deceptively spacious plot and has a detached garage to the rear which has been recently renovated to include a newly-fitted window and doors. The garage has access from the new pedestrian door directly into the garden and through to the house, as well as driveway access to rear. The private rear garden has a paved patio space and pathway, with low maintenance landscaping and a pleasant outlook onto mature Cherry trees.

This location also offers easy access to Otley Road (A660) and the Ring Road (A6120) which provide major links to the motorway networks and bus services into the centre of Leeds. For the more traveled commuter, Leeds - Bradford International Airport is only a short car ride away.
