About this listing

A beautifully presented and extensively improved four-bedroom character home, occupying a particularly attractive position in Horsforth with a remarkable leafy outlook over mature woodland and the stream beyond. Arranged across three levels, Ferndale combines the proportions and architectural details of an older property with a series of significant recent renovations. The kitchen, dining space, principal bedroom suite, en-suite and family bathroom have all been substantially upgraded within the last year, creating a home that feels individual and characterful while offering the layout and finish expected from a modern family property. At the heart of the house is the newly remodelled kitchen and dining space, finished with a warm combination of timber cabinetry, painted joinery, brass detailing and stone surfaces. A substantial island provides additional preparation space and informal seating, while the dining area enjoys full-height glazing and a superb outlook across the trees to the rear. This is a particularly impressive part of the house, flooded with natural light and designed equally well for day-to-day family life and entertaining. The main living room retains much of the property's original character, including an exposed brick chimney breast, wood-burning stove, built-in shelving, high ceilings and large window. Elsewhere, period-style joinery, stained glass, decorative fireplaces and the original staircase sit comfortably alongside the more contemporary alterations. The upper floor includes three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has recently been reconfigured to create a genuinely impressive suite, incorporating a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and newly fitted en-suite bathroom. The en-suite features a freestanding bath positioned against the large window, bespoke marble wash area and traditional brass fittings, with views directly into the surrounding greenery. The separate family bathroom has also been newly created and dormered, with contemporary tiling and brass fittings. The lower-ground level adds considerable flexibility to the accommodation. Alongside a wet room is Bedroom 4, currently used as a playroom, cinema room and den, with sound-reducing treatment creating a particularly useful space for films, gaming or children's play. There is also a garden room/second reception space, a fitted under-stairs bar with sink and wine storage, plus a separate laundry area. This floor could work particularly well for older children, guests, home working or simply as additional family living space. Outside is one of the property's strongest features. The rear garden is arranged over several levels with multiple seating and entertaining terraces and a hot tub area, ultimately leading down towards a wooded stream at the bottom of the garden. A crossing over the stream provides direct access from the garden into Hawksworth Wood, making it especially appealing for walking, running and dog walks without having to head out onto the road. It creates an unusually private, green setting for a house so well connected to Horsforth and Leeds. The property is well placed for both New Road Side and Horsforth Town Street, giving easy access to a broad selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars, shops and everyday amenities. Horsforth Hall Park provides extensive green space, with walking routes, play areas, sports facilities, a skate park and Japanese garden. For commuters, Kirkstall Forge railway station is within walking distance and provides direct trains into Leeds city centre in around six minutes. Horsforth station provides further direct connections towards Harrogate and York, as well as selected direct LNER services to London King’s Cross, giving the property particularly strong rail connections for both local and longer-distance travel. Leeds Bradford Airport is also within easy reach. Families are well served by local schooling, and the LS18 postcode currently forms part of Horsforth School's admissions priority area, subject to the school's admissions policy. Ferndale is a rare combination of character, contemporary design, flexible family accommodation and an exceptional woodland setting, all within one of north Leeds' most desirable suburbs. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
