Ludolf Drive, Leeds, LS17 8LJ

Positioned at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac and within easy walking distance of the local village primary school, this beautifully extended family house combines space, quality and style in equal measure.

The proportions are superb, with three generous reception rooms offering a balance of family life and entertaining space.

At its heart is a breakfast kitchen with a breakfast bar that flows into a 20 ft family/dining room, a versatile area that’s perfect for lively gatherings or relaxed evenings at home.

A further snug (which could be utilised as an occasional fifth double bedroom) with log burner and French doors to the garden provides a more intimate retreat, while the elegant main sitting room, complete with feature fireplace and bay window, is a comfortable room filled with light.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms with an additional single room give flexibility for family living, guests or working from home.

The principal suite enjoys a sleek en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a luxurious house bathroom with separate shower and bath. Outside, the property continues to impress.

The rear garden is private and thoughtfully landscaped, with an extensive patio that wraps around the south and west elevations with tucked-away seating areas that make the most of its secluded setting.

A garage and driveway provide ample parking. Nestled in the heart of Shadwell, one of North Leeds’s most coveted semi-rural villages, this home offers the best of both worlds.

You'll enjoy its country-village feel and strong local community, yet remain exceptionally well connected: close to the new orbital road, with frequent buses into Leeds, excellent access to the A58 and A1(M), and routes to the wider motorway network.

The village boasts conveniences such as a friendly pub, a Post Office and corner shop, a Grade II-listed village hall and social club, plus active sporting facilities including tennis, cricket and football clubs.

Just beyond, Slaid Hill offers added everyday amenities (including a Sainsbury’s) while Harrogate, Roundhay Park and North Leeds’s leisure, cultural and retail offerings are all within easy reach.

This is a house that has been extended and finished to a superb standard, offering both substance and style in a peaceful, highly convenient and characterful location.
