Detached house for sale in Highfield, Old Park Road, Roundhay LS8

Rarely does such a magnificent home in Roundhay come to market. Highfield is a remarkable home with significant space and grounds on offer in a private setting. Come and see this Old Park Road gem!

Highfield is an exquisite, detached property, situated on Old Park Road in the heart of Roundhay, which has been appreciated and well maintained by its current custodians, offering an expansive 4,888 Sqft in total and now having the added benefit of consent to extend the property to the rear.

This much-loved home has been beautifully updated whilst mindfully retaining many period features throughout. This Victorian stone property offers open-plan kitchen/diner and up to four more reception rooms on the ground floor, currently providing a formal living room with stone fireplace and log burner, a study which has a lovely view of the fantastic garden, conservatory which is currently used as a home gym and a larger conservatory which is currently used as a utility and crafting room.

The impressive entrance hallway also grants access to a WC/cloakroom and to a large cellar.

The kitchen diner is finished with granite worktops, integrated neff appliances and a tiled, heated floor. Another sensational feature of this home are high ceilings throughout the ground and first floors of up to 10' with large sash double glazed windows which allow natural light to flood in.

The outstanding grounds of Highfield are zoned for entertainment, lawns, flower beds and even a hen coop. One of our favourite features is the timber framed gazebo and BBQ area which comes with a clay pizza oven and provides an ideal entertainment space. There are various seating places and lots of privacy on offer in this garden, completed by a due south aspect.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three large double bedrooms and a house bathroom, with an en-suite to the principal bedroom. At present, the owners use one of the rooms on this floor as a fully fitted, walk in dressing room. Meanwhile, the top floor provides two further double bedrooms, which both benefit from easy access to a second fully tiled house bathroom.

The driveway to the front sits behind electric gates and leads to a detached double garage. The driveway can easily accommodate a large number of cars.
