5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Sutherland Avenue, Roundhay LS8

Set on one of Roundhay’s most prestigious addresses, Sutherland Avenue, this substantial period home presents an extraordinary renovation opportunity for those with the vision to restore, reimagine and create something truly special.

A beautifully landscaped front garden sets an elegant first impression, with mature planting, colourful borders and steps rising to the front door, where remnants of original architectural detailing hint at the character waiting to be revived within. Step inside and the sense of scale is immediate. The entrance hall is wonderfully spacious, with high ceilings and a striking solid wood banister leading the eye upwards.

To the front, a generous reception room offers excellent proportions and a working feature fireplace, creating a natural focal point for an impressive formal living space. To the rear, a second large reception room, also with a working fireplace, provides further flexibility, whether envisioned as a dining room, family room or relaxed entertaining space. The kitchen sits beyond, enjoying a lovely outlook across the rear garden and offering exciting scope for redesign.

The first floor continues the home’s generous footprint, with a spacious landing, two large double bedrooms, both retaining original fireplaces, a separate bathroom and WC, plus an additional front room that could suit a study, nursery or dressing room.

The top floor has already been thoughtfully renovated, giving a glimpse of the home’s future potential. Here, two further double bedrooms enjoy skylight windows, while excellent alcove storage makes the space highly practical. A beautifully finished modern bathroom features a standalone bath, separate shower and skylight above, creating a calm and contemporary retreat.

The lower ground floor is another standout feature, with an incredible basement stretching across the full footprint of the home and arranged into three separate sections, offering remarkable storage or future development potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the south-east facing rear garden stretches impressively back, complete with a water feature, detached garage and gated rear access for off-street parking.

With Street Lane at the top of the road, and no onward chain, this is a rare chance to secure a home of scale, character and possibility in one of Roundhay’s finest settings. Well-regarded schools, including Talbot Primary, Allerton Grange and Roundhay School, are nearby, with Roundhay Park and excellent transport links into Leeds city centre also within easy reach.
