3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Whitecote Gardens, Leeds LS13

Introduction

Welcome to 17 Whitecote Gardens - lovingly owned and superbly maintained by the same family for over 35 years. Set on one of the largest plots in this sought after cul-de-sac and enjoying incredible views across the Aire Valley. This beautifully presented and deceptively spacious three-bedroom semi-detached family home with an occasional loft room is a rare find. Boasting flexible living across three floors and a truly enviable west-facing, sunny garden. Perfectly positioned on the Bramley/Rodley border, with excellent transport links and canal-side walks - just moments away. It offers the perfect blend of internal space, outdoor living, and scope for further development, subject to planning consent.

Step inside to a bright and spacious hallway, featuring laminate wood flooring, a built-in storage cupboard, and a security alarm system for added peace of mind. Also on the ground floor, there is a guest w/c for added practicality and a real must for today’s buyers.

To the front, the cosy lounge enjoys a beautiful bay window that floods the room with natural light. Neutral decor with soft carpeting and features a glass-fronted inset gas fire creating a warm and inviting setting for cosy evenings.

To the rear, the impressive kitchen/diner spans the full width of the house and has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life. It features a gas hob and electric oven (fitted approx. Two years ago), plus integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. A breakfast bar, plenty of wall and base units with drawers, and space for a dining table make this a social hub of the home. Natural light streams in from the side window, and French doors open directly onto the raised decked terrace, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is ideal for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden view.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is generous and includes another built-in storage cupboard, with stairs leading to the loft room on the second floor.

The main bedroom at the front is a great size and features a lovely bay window and fitted wardrobes spanning one wall. The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, includes a large under-stairs storage cupboard, and offers stunning views across the valley. The third bedroom is a larger than average single, currently used as a home office, is front-facing and includes a bi-fold door.

The stylish family bathroom is well-proportioned, featuring a white corner bath, a double walk-in shower enclosure with a power shower, wash basin, ceiling panels, frosted double-glazed window, and full tiling throughout. A separate W/C adds extra convenience.

At the top of the house, the occasional loft room is a fantastic bonus space, with two Velux windows to the front and rear, laminate flooring, and under-eaves storage. While the conversion was carried out around 25 years ago (no building regs approval), it offers valuable additional space and excellent potential as a quiet home office, hobby space or retreat.

Outside, the home continues to impress. A private driveway leads to a detached garage via iron side gates, and security lighting is installed at both the front and rear of the property. The rear, west facing garden is truly exceptional, featuring a large paved patio area, raised decking/terrace with access from the kitchen/diner, and a beautifully maintained lawn flanked by mature trees and shrubs. At the bottom of the garden, there is a charming archway that leads to a secluded pebbled area nestled beneath an apple tree. Whether you're relaxing with a glass of wine on the terrace or watching the kids play on the lawn, this outdoor space offers both tranquility and a private haven that is bathed in sunshine throughout the day and into the evening.

This fabulous home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing throughout, and annual servicing of the boiler, gas hob, and inset gas fire, giving buyers peace of mind from day one.

A rare opportunity to own a much-loved and superbly maintained home in a prime position with unbeatable views, garden space and room to grow. A real gem that is not to be missed!
