We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Welcome to The Drive, a superb four bedroom, two bathroom period family home, enviably positioned on one of Roundhay’s most prestigious and tree lined streets.
Rich in original character yet thoughtfully adapted for modern life, this is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable.
A bright and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone immediately, filled with natural light and period details.
To the left sits a spacious front reception room, where high ceilings, original features and a beautiful bay window create an elegant and uplifting space, perfect for relaxed evenings or entertaining guests.
On the opposite side of the hallway is a second reception room, currently used as a library and study.
With its open fireplace, bookcases and bay window overlooking the garden, it offers a peaceful retreat or an ideal work from home space.
The heart of the home lies to the rear, where a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living space creates a sociable hub for family life.
Designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, this area is filled with light thanks to a striking glass roof lantern and wide bi-fold doors that open directly onto a beautifully paved courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoors and out.
The kitchen is well appointed with a range cooker, extensive storage and clever solutions including a large pull-out pantry. A utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.
The first floor offers a beautifully balanced accommodation level, continuing the home’s generous proportions and period charm.
Here you’ll find two impressive double bedrooms, both rich in original detail and filled with natural light.
The principal bedroom is a wonderfully elegant retreat, featuring large windows that frame leafy views and an original feature fireplace that adds warmth and character.
This room benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room, finished with modern fixtures and fittings that complement the period setting.
The second bedroom on this floor is equally generous, again showcasing an original feature fireplace and a large window overlooking the garden, making it an ideal guest room or luxurious second bedroom.
Completing this level is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, centred around a striking marble topped vanity unit and finished with refined, contemporary fittings.
It’s a space that feels calm, indulgent and perfectly suited to both everyday family life and visiting guests. The second floor offers a wonderful versatile level, ideal for modern family life.
A bright landing provides the perfect spot for a desk or study area.
From here, two further generous double bedrooms unfold, both beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, one bedroom features a charming reading nook tucked beneath the window.
This level works effortlessly as a children’s floor, guest accommodation or a flexible mix of bedrooms. Stepping outside, the home continues to impress.
Directly accessed from the bi-fold doors, a beautifully paved courtyard creates a natural extension of the living space, ideal for entertaining or relaxed mornings.
Beyond, the garden unfolds into a mature and private setting, offering a peaceful backdrop with established planting that provides both colour and seclusion throughout the seasons.
Practicality is equally well considered, with the property benefiting from a large double garage and generous off-street parking.
The outdoor spaces balance ease of maintenance with genuine lifestyle appeal, perfectly complementing the elegance and scale of the home itself.
Superbly positioned for the wide range of amenities in Roundhay, including popular cafés, restaurants, and independent shops.
The property is also just a short distance from the beautiful Roundhay Park.
Families will appreciate the excellent choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, while Leeds city centre is easily accessible by car or public transport, making this an ideal home for those seeking both convenience and community.
