Property description
Offered with the benefit of IMMEDIATE VACANT POSSESSION and therefore NO CHAIN ABOVE, an opportunity, for a growing family, to purchase this LARGER STYLE SEMI-DETACHED RESIDENCE - which is one of only a pair of this style in this very convenient location on the Far Headingley/West Park border, and consequently with A DEGREE OF INDIVIDUALITY IN APPEARANCE. The property is ideally situated for comfortable daily commuting to Leeds city centre via the university, and has the advantage of a bus stop virtually opposite and from where there are regular public transport facilities. There is also the benefit of passing interest from the front windows.

There is SCOPE FOR MODERNISATION and IMPROVEMENTS - for which the REALISTIC ASKING PRICE HAS BEEN SET TO ALLOW FOR, and the property should respond well. The IMPRESSIVE SIZE is impossible to assess from the outside and AN INTERNAL INSPECTION IS ESSENTIAL to appreciate the EXCELLENT FAMILY ACCOMMODATION.

The famous Golden Acre Park is about three and a half miles away and less than 15 minutes drive by car, as is DELIGHTFUL OPEN COUNTRYSIDE. Leeds and Bradford Airport is also about 15 minutes drive. There are popular primary schools and secondary schools in the area and The Village Hotel and Leisure Club is within walking distance. The "VIBRANT" AREA OF HEADINGLEY is within approximately 10-15 minutes walking distance and has an excellent choice of shopping facilities and other family amenities, as well as a mix of trendy bars and traditional flagged floor pubs, popular restaurants and well known fish and chip shops.
