Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
Entered via a partially glazed door. Ceramic tiled flooring with plastered masonry walls. A quarter-turn winder staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation with solid balustrade detailing. Full internal redecoration required.

Sitting Room
Positioned to the front right-hand side of the property, the sitting room features a double casement window with a central mullion, providing good natural light. The floor is currently fitted with cut-pile carpet, which is in need of replacement. There is also a fireplace with an open-flame gas fire (not tested).

Kitchen
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, the kitchen offers space for a good range of base and wall units. It is currently fitted with basic, worn units which a purchaser is likely to replace as part of refurbishment. Flooring is sheet vinyl, with plastered walls finished in skim and emulsion; full redecoration is required. A wall-mounted gas-fired boiler is positioned to the rear right-hand side of the kitchen (not tested). A part-glazed rear door with a top-hung side light provides good natural light and access to the rear garden. A further part-glazed pine-panel door leads through to the dining room.

Dining Room
Overlooking the rear garden, the dining room benefits from a three-panel casement window providing good natural light. Walls are partially decorated. The original fireplace has been blocked and vented. The floor is finished in riven slate-effect ceramic tiles. The radiator requires reinstatement.

First Floor Landing
Centrally positioned, the first-floor landing incorporates solid balustrading to the stairwell. Single-glazed toplights above the internal doors provide borrowed natural light. A useful laundry/airing cupboard, accessed via a panelled door, houses the hot water cylinder and is fitted with slatted pine shelving.

Bedroom 1
A good-sized double bedroom with a double casement window and central mullion overlooking the green space towards Headingley Road. Walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper, and the floor is fitted with cut-pile carpet.

Bedroom 2
A further good-sized double bedroom positioned to the rear right-hand side of the property, with a three-unit window overlooking the garden. Walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper, and the floor is fitted with cut-pile carpet.

Bedroom 3
A single bedroom, equally suitable as a home office or study. There is built-in overstairs storage accessed via panelled double doors and fitted with a hanging rail. The floor is finished with timber-effect laminate boards, and the walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper.

Bathroom
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, with a frosted window to the rear aspect. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with electric shower over, pedestal wash-hand basin with chrome pillar taps, and close-coupled WC. Walls are partly finished in ceramic tiling and the floor is laid with sheet vinyl.

Grounds:
Front Aspect
Set back from Headingley Road, the property is approached via a shared pedestrian pathway with a picket gate leading into the front garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with perimeter shrub planting, now in need of cutting back. The pathway continues through a shared passageway with gated access to the rear garden, and also runs along the front elevation to the main entrance, which sits beneath a profiled concrete canopy.

Rear Garden
A concrete path provides access to the kitchen via a separate part-glazed door, offering convenient rear entry. Immediately to the rear of the house is a hardstanding area suitable for seating, although vegetation growth requires cutting back. The main garden is arranged with a central gravel path and grassed areas to either side, both now in need of attention. Boundary treatment is predominantly close-board fencing, with a number of fence panels in poor condition, particularly to the rear and left-hand sides.

Outbuildings
The property includes a substantial brick outbuilding under a concrete deck flat roof, incorporating a small corner canopy. Ledged and slatted timber doors with Suffolk latches open into the main section, which has been opened up to provide a good-sized space with potential for use as a workshop or home office (subject to any consents required). The room is served by two top-hung casement windows, with an additional ledged and braced door to the side aspect. A separate former WC area now provides useful storage, accessed via a further slatted timber door.
