Town house for sale in 6 St. James Drive, Horsforth, Leeds LS18

So...what do we have here? A very pleasant surprise and certainly not what I expected, when I rocked up to see this property for the first time, that's for sure! What a gem of a house...ideal for those of you who are looking for their first home or even for those who don't want to leave trendy Horsforth, but would like to downsize. This is a ready-made home that has been improved and cared for by the present owner, as well as the installation of a new gas C.H. Boiler and a rewire. With all the amenities outlined below, plus a train station, arterial road networks and an airport close-by, this is a property that you should be adding to the very top of your house-hunting shopping list! Is there a better house for the money on the market? I think not...

So...having parked outside the property, and walked down the pathway to the side door, your guided tour will start by entering into the entrance hall. First on the left will take you into a wide and spacious (4.58m x 3.06m) living room...so big, you will need to buy yourself a bigger TV as well as being able to cuddle up on that L-shaped sofa that you have been promising to buy yourself. From the hallway, straight forward will take you to a lovely breakfast kitchen of similar proportions to that of the Living room...even space for a dining table. The staircase from the hallway, will whisk you up to the first-floor landing. The good-sized master bedroom is on the left, with bedroom 2, (also a double) being located at the back of the house. The sunrises from this room will be wonderful! Last, but by no means least, is the gorgeous contemporary bathroom...mm, mm, mmm.(check out the photo)

Outside, there is a lawned front garden and a truly sizeable communal paved area which is shared with the adjoining apartments.

Aahhh, but what about the amenities, I hear you ask? Well, these will not disappoint either. Horsforth continues to be popular and a sought-after location, due to an abundance of these, which are improving and growing month by month, year upon year. There is a great selection of restaurants, pubs, wine bars, coffee bars, and cafes. If you wish to walk off those over-indulgencies, then look no further than Horsforth Hall Park and the Leeds/Liverpool canal, both of which are close by. Further afield is Golden Acre Park and the famous Roundhay Park with its twin lakes. There are numerous golf courses too. There is a good selection of schools for children of most ages and for the commuter, the arterial roads give access to other areas and Leeds city centre. There are regular cross-town public transport facilities and 2 train stations in proximity. Leeds and Bradford's International Airport is only a few miles away too.

So there you have it, one of Horsforth's secret gems...not now that I have told everyone about it! I will be looking forward to seeing you there at the Open Viewing Day.
