About
A much-loved home with exciting potential A much-loved three-bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a popular position on Montagu Avenue and offered for sale with no onward chain.
While perfectly liveable as it stands, the property now offers an exciting opportunity for its next owner to modernise and update the accommodation, creating a home tailored to their own style and requirements.
The property retains a number of appealing character features, including a lovely curved bay window and fireplace to the front sitting room.
The entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor.
The sitting room sits at the front of the house, enjoying plenty of natural light through the attractive curved bay window and featuring a fireplace.
To the rear is a dining room positioned alongside the kitchen, creating an excellent opportunity to reconfigure the space.
Subject to any necessary permissions, the dividing wall could be removed to create a wonderful open-plan kitchen/dining space spanning the rear of the house, with the potential to introduce doors opening directly onto the south-westerly garden.
The existing kitchen is fitted with a range of units and has a rear window, together with a door leading into the covered area connecting the house with the garage and utility space.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two to the front – one double and one single – with a further double bedroom overlooking the rear.
The main house shower room completes the accommodation.
A ladder from the landing leads up to the loft which has been improved and now has a velux and provides additional scope for a full loft conversion if required.
Externally, there is ample off-street parking on the front driveway, together with a single garage.
A covered area links the house to the garage, providing useful additional storage and access through to the utility area situated at the rear of the garage.
The south-westerly facing rear garden is a real highlight, enjoying sunshine and featuring mature planted areas.
There is plenty of scope to redesign and landscape the garden to suit individual tastes and create a fantastic outdoor space.
Montagu Avenue is ideally placed for enjoying the amenities of Oakwood, with its excellent selection of cafés, bars, restaurants and everyday conveniences including the post office and library.
Nearby Roundhay Park, with over 700 acres of parkland, lakes and open space, provides an exceptional setting for walking, leisure and recreation.
Regular bus services provide easy access into Leeds city centre, while the property is also within catchment for Roundhay High School.
An appealing opportunity for buyers looking for a well-loved home with character, a good layout and the potential to modernise and create something truly their own. EPC commissioned but awaited.
