Life is full of surprises, and this certainly was a very nice one for me! Who would have thought that nestled away in this quiet little backwater lay simply one of the nicest houses I have had the pleasure of meeting. It really is as good as it looks from the outside and delights in revealing its little gems as you take a look around inside.
It is only too obvious that the current owners have poured a lot of love and care into their house, resulting in a lovely stone-built cottage-style house that retains a plethora of characteristic features and lots of charm. It is situated in a highly regarded and much sought-after residential location, benefitting from a wide array of amenities and transport links.
The property will suit a range of different buyers and has the potential to provide additional accommodation by converting the basement and loft space as some owners locally have done (subject to consents and regulations that may be required).
Having parked outside the property, our guided tour starts by proceeding through the front garden and entering through a stylish front door into a fantastic 5-metre entrance hall. What a great start to your tour! Turning left will take you into a superb, elegant living room. Situated at the end of the hallway and on the left, you will find yourself entering into a sizeable, fitted, and equipped dining-kitchen, which has super views over the back garden. From the rear vestibule, you can proceed into the garden or, alternatively, down to the cellar. Here, there is the potential to provide further accommodation if required.
A lovely staircase will take you up to the first floor, where I was particularly impressed by the size of the landing, and providing the potential to extend into the loft space. There are 2 double bedrooms and a sizeable family bathroom.
As well as a front garden, there is a particularly nice rear garden which has gated access beyond. There is a lovely outlook.
Ah...but what about the amenities I hear you say?
Calverley Village enjoys a thriving village atmosphere. Situated between Leeds and Bradford, with excellent access links into the City Centres making commuting straightforward. The A658 and A657 both provide major links to the motorway networks and for those wishing to travel further afield, Leeds-Bradford Airport is a short drive away. A train station at Apperley Bridge gets you into Leeds in ten minutes. Just along the A657 is a shopping complex where a Sainsbury's supermarket and other major retail outlets can be found. The popular Owlcotes Centre at Pudsey offers Marks & Spencers & Asda Superstores, with New Pudsey train station adjacent. The Village has two primary schools, Calverley Church Primary School, and Calverley Parkside School, a park, Village pubs and good local amenities are on hand, in addition there are also two golf courses nearby. Only a short car ride away are the neighbouring 'villages' of Horsforth, Guiseley, Rawdon and Farsley where a further selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and eateries can be found.
