This is a classic 1930s bay-windowed detached house that has been extended on the ground floor to provide excellent family accommodation, ideal for those who need space or love to entertain. Set in sizeable gardens, which is great for those who love the outdoor life, playing space for children, gardening and for BBQs. With the backdrop of great views, this could well be the property for you! There is parking (with turning area) for 4 cars. The conservatory, with its views over the garden and beyond, is to die for!

This is a home that combines a sizeable private back garden with modern, open-plan living, communicating effortlessly with calming outside spaces for relaxation and ease of entertaining. So if it is a fab lifestyle that you are after, then this is the one for ewe.

Having parked on the driveway, your guided tour will start by entering into a good-sized bright and airy entrance hall. First on the right will take you into an elegant bay-windowed living room, with a working chimney providing the potential for the installation of a multi-fuel burning stove. Straight forward at the end of the hallway is a lovely newly installed guest cloakroom. By turning right at the end of the hallway, a very pleasant surprise will await you. My heart certainly skipped a beat! How about this for a fantastic (6.48m x 4.86m) newly installed fitted and equipped open plan dining kitchen...with Quartz worktops, a super central island with breakfast bar, and yet still plenty of space for a dining table and 6 chairs. This is a room that simply oozes wow factor. There is also the advantage of a separate utility room.

But we are not finished yet...from this room, double doors give access to the back garden and also open into the mahoosive conservatory ( 4.90m x 3.68m) which has great views over the back garden and fields across the valley. Nice!

From the hallway, a staircase will whisk you to the first-floor landing. The master bedroom is located at the front and mirrors that of the living room below. The 2nd bedroom is at the back of the house and enjoys those super views...check out the photos. The 3rd bedroom is above the front door, is a good size for a 3rd bedroom, but would also make for a super study for those who wish to work from home. The newly installed bathroom is adjacent to the 2nd bedroom.

And so to the outside...A section of the front garden has been block paved and with a nifty turning area there is parking for up to 4 cars. A portion of the attached garage has been kept for storage whilst the rear section was converted to form the utility. There is a pathway and garden area to the left-hand side of the property which gives access to the back garden. The garden is a huge bonus, being generously proportioned, enclosed, and private, and takes full advantage of those impressive views. If you need garden furniture storage space, take a peep under the conservatory...you will be impressed.

So what about the amenities I hear you ask? Cookridge has continued to be popular and a sought-after location due to an abundance of these. Lots of different sizes and shapes of shops of all kinds ranging from supermarkets in Cookridge, Holt Park, and Horsforth, to the traditional corner shops, just about everywhere. Doctors, dentists, and schools for children of all ages are catered for, within the immediate vicinity. Being on the edge of the countryside, there is a particularly nice walk over nearby fields to Golden Acre Park. There are numerous recreational facilities in proximity with Horsforth and Cookridge golf clubs being the closest. For those of you who wish to move at a faster pace of life, gyms and sports clubs too. If you throw into the mix, nice pubs, restaurants, and wine bars there is more than enough going on to suit most palates. For commuters, there are regular bus services, good road and rail links (Horsforth station) as well as Leeds and Bradford International Airport.

It is obvious that the current owners have spent a lot of thought, time, and money on planning how best to improve and add value to their home. This has been highly successful by the addition of a fabulous plan dining kitchen, utility, guest cloakroom and a new bathroom...an imaginative program of modernisation and improvements; all to a high standard, and including many luxurious features.

So there you have it...a beautiful home with lots of surprises...one of Cookridge's best-kept secrets...not now! A house that you should definitely put right at the very top of your house-hunting shopping list...but don't take my word for it... Come and see for yourself...I look forward to meeting you at the Open Day.
