2 Montagu View, Leeds

The recipe for a perfect family home? Some special ingredients; location, schools, style, comfort, a great garden, and plenty of space for everyone. This North Leeds semi-detached house is a delicious mix of all these delights, just waiting to be served up to the right buyers. Carefully prepared and ready to enjoy, this fantastic family home combines all the essentials for modern living in a superb setting (and if you don't know the area, make sure you read to the end of these details to learn all about what a wonderful place this is to live!). 

The south-easterly aspect combines with beautiful bay windows and strategically-placed bi-fold doors to create a bright, airy, welcoming feel throughout. Extensive patios wrap around the house to sit out for supper, barbecue, or simply lounge in the sun with a book. The large lawn gives lots of space to play, and mature hedges provide real privacy. 

Entering through the sheltering porch, a bright hallway leads to stairs, dining room/kitchen, family room, and the main lounge. The lounge's big bay window competes with the stylish stone fireplace as the focus of a room that is cosy in winter and summer. The more informal family room has a wall of bi-folding doors that brings the outside in, and make this perfect to relax whatever the weather. 

The dining room & kitchen offers open plan casual comfort or stylish formality depending on the mood, and with yet more bi-folding doors the room can blend seamlessly with the patio beyond. The kitchen is beautifully fitted, with a 5-ring Neff hob and two Neff ovens (one is a combination microwave) meaning you can cater for a good number of guests, and let the fitted Bosch dishwasher deal with the washing up. A separate well-equipped utility room with sink & drainer as well as washing & drying machines complete the ground floor (there's also a convenient WC tucked away beyond the utility room). 

But don't go upstairs just yet! The garage has been converted into a self-contained office and gym, with lots of space whether you're planning on work or a workout or both! The other end of the garage remains a very useful storage area, but is completely separate and accessed by a secure steel shutter at the other end of the building from the office/gym's patio doors. 

The first floor has three bedrooms; the largest of which has another fabulous bay window looking out over the garden, and built in storage. The other two bedrooms are each well-sized, with generous storage in both, and views over greenery and gardens outside. The main bathroom is modern and stylish while also remaining practical for a family, with a separate bath and sizeable shower. 

Landing and stairs benefit from windows on the side of the house that contribute to the open and spacious feel of the whole property, so you can sweep up the stairs to the wonderful master bedroom. Occupying the whole top floor, this luxurious room has abundant light and space, and is complimented by its beautifully-finished ensuite bathroom. The room also has plenty of well-crafted built-in cupboards, giving plenty of storage without compromising the openess of the room. We'll also mention that as one of the higher houses on this side of Leeds, the two Velux windows give sweeping views for miles across the countryside beyond the city.

It is worth dwelling a little more on the outside space. The corner plot gives the house one of the larger gardens in the area, and the mixture of lawn and patio means there are lots of choices for where you choose to spend your time outdoors (moving from sunshine to shade and back again as it suits you). There is plenty of parking for two large cars, and as mentioned the garage conversion gives great secure storage. The house also benefits from en EV charger. 

So, about the area...well, there can't be many places left in the UK where you have a Library, Post Office, Primary Schools, Nurseries, Scouts, Rainbows/Guides, Cadets, supermarkets, a gym, independent shops, a selection of excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs, nature reserve, cycle paths, snooker club, and an absolutely gigantic park (with rowing, football, cricket, bowls and other outdoor activities) ALL within walking distance! There's also a monthly farmer's market, regular craft fairs, and even a monthly pop-up cinema! As well as the nearby Primary Schools, the house is within the catchment area for the Outstanding Roundhay High School.

In terms of transport, the house's position in North Leeds means it is close to the Ring Road and the M1/A1 without having to go through the centre of the city. There are nearby bus stops with frequent buses to Leeds city centre, Wetherby, Headingley, and Horsforth.  Cycling continues to improve across the area.
