The apartment, which, provides WELL PROPORTIONED ACCOMMODATION including TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, is being offered with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and therefore no chain above, and forms part of this POPULAR DEVELOPMENT OF ONLY TWELVE PROPERTIES.

An additional feature of this apartment is that it has AN INDIVIDUAL GARAGE at the end of the building (approximately 20 paces from the French style doors) with up and over door and vehicular access from Welburn Avenue.
AMENITIES: WEST PARK is a much sought after, established residential location to the north-west of Leeds (approximately five miles) and is in a very convenient position for comfortable daily commuting, by car, to the commercial centres of Leeds and Bradford, the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley and the historic, active market town of Otley. The North Leeds ring road is less than five minute's drive from the property and there are also regular public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university, on the nearby Otley Road - about five minute's walking distance from this apartment.

The famous Golden Acre Park is approximately three miles away and about ten minute's drive by car, as is delightful open countryside. Leeds and Bradford Airport is approximately 15 minute's drive. The Village Hotel and Leisure Club are only several minute's walking distance and on the two local parades at West Park there is a cafe bar and restaurant, hair and beauty salons and a launderette. The "vibrant" area of Headingley is a short bus ride or approximately 25 minute's walk and has an excellent choice of shopping facilities, a mix of trendy bars plus traditional flagged floor pubs, popular restaurants and well known fish and chip shops. Other leisure facilities include Cottage Road Cinema and both the Headingley cricket and rugby grounds.
