Property description
SET WELL BACK FROM THE ROAD - by virtue of the deep grass verge with very established trees, enhancing the appeal of the location, and also in A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED POSITION FOR WINDOW PRIVACY, an excellent opportunity to purchase this IMPRESSIVE SEMI-DETACHED RESIDENCE understood to have been BUILT in the late 1920's. THIS LOVELY HOME, which, is very appealing in appearance, is one of only a pair of this style in the immediate vicinity, creating a degree of individuality, and is ideally located for quick easy access (only a few minutes drive in each case) to the excellent shopping facilities at Moortown Corner including a Marks and Spencer's food store, the VIBRANT area of Chapel Allerton with popular restaurants and wine bars, as well as family amenities, and Meanwood centre with further shopping facilities including a Waitrose supermarket. Our clients have successfully and sympathetically combined the MANY LOVELY ORIGINAL FEATURES with modern day living requirements to create a BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED HOME with IMMENSE CHARM and CHARACTER, and which is further enhanced by the very tasteful internal decorations in light mainly "pastel" schemes. The ground floor rooms are ideal for relaxed family living and also for entertaining and offer A WELL PLANNED LIVING-DINING KITCHEN with windows to two walls, and AN ELEGANT, WELL LIT THROUGH LOUNGE with French style doors to the VERY PLEASANT, PRIVATE REAR GARDEN. Additional benefits of this property include the THIRD BEDROOM OF GOOD SIZE (9'6" x 8'10") and the SMART BATHROOM with modern white suite. We strongly recommend an early internal inspection to appreciate fully the complete "picture" and also to avoid unnecessary disappointment!
