STEP INSIDE The Old Barn

Situated in one of the finest locations in North Leeds is this exclusive enclave of only five homes. The Old Barn offers a remarkable five bedroom stone detached conversion set in spectacular gardens of just over half an acre with expansive and breath-taking views over open countryside towards the Harewood Estate.

Having been converted some years ago by Park Lane Homes and then further improved by the present owners, this property provides excellent modern accommodation whilst retaining many character features including superb original beams.

The impressive entrance hall with full vaulted ceilings and skylight windows has an oak staircase with glass balustrade leading to galleried landing on first floor. To the immediate left is a downstairs w.c. and cloak cupboard leading onto a sizeable study with bespoke fitted furniture. Beyond the entrance hall is a wonderful flow of entertaining space; a large spacious lounge with bespoke built in storage cupboards and a gas fire, dining area and family room are divided by glass doors, cleverly designed to allow an abundance of natural light to flow through the mid-section of the house. Views of the outside and gardens can be appreciated from every room with a combination of floor to ceiling windows and French Doors leading out.

The modern open plan family kitchen is simply magnificent with its double height ceilings, exposed beams and stonework features a range of fitted black high gloss units with granite work surfaces, a central island unit and integrated appliances. There is a built in breakfast table and secondary staircase leading to the first floor landing. From the kitchen there is a large utility room with a door leading to the double integral garage.

To the first floor the original ceiling beams have been left exposed to run through most of the rooms. A lovely feature of the landing is the glass balustrades overlooking the kitchen. Positioned overlooking the gardens is the master bedroom suite with balcony, accompanied with walk in wardrobe and luxury en-suite bathroom. There are four further good sized bedrooms, all with en-suites with under floor heating.

The gardens of this home are without doubt one of its most significant features being positioned in this superb level plot of approximately 0.6 acre. These gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area at the immediate rear of the property, ideal for ‘al-fresco’ dining with the unique added benefit of a cigar shack. Both are well maintained and well enclosed offering a good degree of privacy whilst having panoramic views over open countryside. There are beautiful winding Yorkshire stone gravel paths through the gardens and beautifully manicured hedges and flower bed borders, an orchard with hazelnut, pear & apple trees and a stone garden store. To the rear of the property is a detached outbuilding office/gym with the advantage of air conditioning and bi folding doors opening onto the beautiful garden.

An electronically operated gate gives access to four properties and this home also has the benefit of a private driveway and integral double garage with an electric door.

Situated at the end of Manor House Lane this home is perfect for rear pedestrian access to the Grammar School at Leeds. The extensive quality amenities of Moortown Corner including the Marks and Spencer Food Hall are in vehicular access, as is the David Lloyd Centre on the ring road, numerous golf courses, the vibrant Leeds City Centre, the spa town of Harrogate and the Leeds/Bradford International Airport are also easily accessible.
