Background
Glebe House is a Grade II listed villa in the heart of Headingley, LS6 4DH. Sitting at the rear of a large wooded garden and lawn (c. 0.5 acres), Glebe House was built in 1875 and over its 150 year history, it has changed hands but five times.

The entrance hallway features an original fireplace, encaustic tiles from the venerable Craven Dunnill Jackfield, and an imposing staircase, adorned with a stained glass feature window depicting the Four Seasons. Two spacious reception rooms to the front of the property feature stone fireplaces. The main kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, a Falcon range cooker, and granite worktops. The ground floor also features a house bathroom and a guest apartment.

Upstairs, five generously proportioned double bedrooms await, accompanied by a house bathroom, utility room, and a kitchenette.
Flooring throughout the rooms is a mixture of 19th century pine, oak or mahogany.

Built with Ashlar elevations and slate roof, the property comprises overall six bedrooms, three receptions, three kitchens, three bathrooms, plus utility.
Period features adorn throughout, while 12 feet ceilings give a sense of space and light everywhere. The property is heated with gas central heating throughout, while working marble and sandstone fireplaces are in the main reception rooms.

The extensive gardens lead to a double garage. Useful cellars run under the majority of the ground floor; two of these are accessible and house
the gas central heating and two mains pressure domestic hot water cylinders. Substantial undeveloped attics run over the entire house.

The property was re-roofed in 2021. In total the habitable property, cellars and garaging is in excess of 4,000 square feet (~420 sq m). There is outside parking for about ten cars.
