Key Information
Description
** Open Day Saturday 17th May 11am - 1pm ** From the moment you arrive, this home stands out — full of warmth, history and thoughtful design. Found in leafy Adel, it offers the kind of lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find — classic, comfortable and wonderfully connected to green space and village life.
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a sense of history from this 1930s house — original wood panelling, an encapsulated original stained glass window, high ceilings and period fireplaces provide a nod to the home’s rich heritage and create a feeling of calm and quality.
The front lounge is a particularly special space — light-filled from a bay window and centred around a real open fire, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Across the hallway, the second reception room offers flexibility — perfect as a snug, playroom or formal dining space — and has secondary heating with a traditional gas fire. The double patio doors provide easy access to the garden beyond, ideal for bringing the outside-in.
At the rear of the home, the kitchen has been designed with both style and substance in mind. Solid wood flooring, a classic range cooker, integrated wine fridge, built-in dishwasher and breakfast bar create a beautifully practical space, ideal for entertaining and everyday family life.
For added functionality within this property, there is a large porch, cloakroom/ WC and a utility room, spaces which are invaluable for the modern family, offering practical convenience and extra room to keep the home organised and tidy. The porch welcomes you with a warm and sheltered entryway, perfect for greeting guests or enjoying a peaceful moment before stepping inside. The utility room provides a dedicated space for laundry and additional storage, keeping the living areas clutter-free and serene.
Upstairs, you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms and a smart family bathroom, tastefully modernised complete with electric underfloor heating, a dual fuel towel rail and twin extractor fans. The bay-fronted principal bedroom makes the most of the light and space on offer.
The home has been thoughtfully upgraded with energy efficiency and modern living in mind. It benefits from a Kingspan solar hot water system, condensing boiler, double glazing throughout and an EV charging point. A bespoke security system with panic alarm offers added peace of mind.
Outside, the recently laid permeable block-paved driveway creates a smart and practical entrance, while the front garden is beautifully planted — offering a warm welcome with colour, greenery and fruit trees from the moment you arrive. The rear garden is private and well cared for, with space for children to play or for relaxed outdoor dining. There’s also a side access leading to a garage (with power), a cellar (with power and water), and a surprisingly versatile outbuilding. Currently used as a potting shed, the outbuilding is fully powered and features a charming period stove — ideal for conversion into a garden studio, workshop or tucked-away home office.
Adel is a long-time favourite for families and professionals, offering a great mix of local shops, cafés, and friendly pubs, all within walking distance. For those that enjoy the fresh air, you’re also just moments from Golden Acre Park, Bedquilts, and the Meanwood Valley Trail. Sports enthusiasts are well-served with sports facilities at Adel Memorial, Bodington, Weetwood and YMCA.
Excellent local schools, both primary and secondary, are within walking distance, making it an ideal choice for families. For commuters, frequent bus routes and cycle lanes run along Otley Road to the city centre — while nearby road links connect you easily to Harrogate, Ilkley and beyond.
This beautifully balanced home offers so much more than four walls — it’s a place to settle, grow, and truly enjoy. With its rich period features, modern upgrades, and enviable location, this is a home that feels as good as it looks and is ready for its next chapter.
Viewing is highly recommended – properties with this much character and practicality don’t stay around for long.
