VIEWING STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

A Prime West End Drive Position – Upward Chain Complete

Occupying one of the finest positions on West End Drive, this beautifully extended 1930s semi-detached home enjoys a rare combination of privacy, open views, a west-facing rear garden and exceptional family accommodation, all within one of Horsforth’s most sought-after residential settings.

Set behind wrought iron electric gates, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival. A substantial block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached double garage, whilst the elevated outlook to the front and mature woodland backdrop to the rear create a setting that feels both private and unusually peaceful for such a central Horsforth location.

Thoughtfully Extended & Beautifully Integrated

The quality of the extension work is immediately apparent. Particular attention has been paid to ensuring the stonework blends seamlessly between the original house and the newer additions, allowing old and new to sit together naturally and sympathetically.

From an aerial perspective, the rear roofline has been thoughtfully designed across stepped tiers, creating architectural interest whilst also demonstrating the care and consideration that went into the extension as a whole. The result is a house that feels exceptionally well integrated rather than simply enlarged.

The house has been significantly improved and meticulously maintained over the years, resulting in a home that combines generous proportions, practical family living and an understated sense of quality throughout.

Exceptional Horsforth Connectivity

West End Primary School and Nursery is positioned just around the corner on West End Lane, whilst Horsforth School is approximately 0.7 miles away on foot, making it comfortably walkable for older children.

Town Street, with its excellent range of independent cafés, bars, restaurants and shops, is similarly accessible, as is Horsforth Hall Park.

For commuters, Horsforth Train Station is approximately 1.3 miles away, providing straightforward access into Leeds city centre and beyond.

From the front elevation, the property enjoys attractive open views down Hunger Hills Avenue, creating a genuine sense of space and separation from neighbouring properties. To the rear, the west-facing garden backs onto woodland, giving the property a calm and leafy outlook that is increasingly difficult to find within such a well-connected suburban setting.

Even the marketing photography, taken at approximately 9:30am, demonstrates how much natural light the rear garden enjoys throughout the day and well into the evening.

Reception Space

Internally, the accommodation is beautifully balanced and flows naturally from room to room.

A wide entrance hall immediately reflects the proportions associated with homes of this era.

To the left is a cosy snug or secondary reception room featuring a recessed electric fireplace set within the chimney breast, understood to be remote controlled. The room works particularly well as a playroom, reading room or informal sitting room.

There is also a substantial understair storage cupboard, ideal for household items such as cleaning equipment, hoovers and ironing boards.

The principal reception room is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys particularly attractive open views. A gas coal-effect fireplace with composite stone surround creates an elegant focal point, whilst French doors open directly into the kitchen diner.

Kitchen & Family Living

Without question, the kitchen is the heart of the home.

Measuring approximately 17ft x 14ft, this impressive west-facing kitchen diner has clearly been designed around modern family living and entertaining. There is ample space for a large dining table seating six to eight people comfortably, whilst the layout flows naturally towards the rear garden.

The kitchen itself offers an excellent range of fitted cabinetry together with generous work surface space and plentiful power points for appliances. Features include double electric ovens, gas hob with extractor above, full-size dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer. Positioned beneath the rear window, the sink overlooks the garden and woodland backdrop beyond.

Tiled splashbacks and recessed halogen spotlighting complete the room.

Leading directly off the kitchen is a practical utility room incorporating a Worcester Bosch boiler, approximately four years old and subject to annual servicing, together with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, additional work surface space and further eye level storage units.The ground floor is completed by a downstairs WC with pedestal wash hand basin.

First Floor Accommodation

To the first floor, the landing is notably spacious and benefits from a substantial storage cupboard behind double doors, currently used for additional wardrobe and linen storage.

There is also access into the loft space from the landing. The loft has been boarded within the extended rear section of the property, providing excellent practical storage accessed via a loft ladder. From here, there is further access into the original roof space of the house. Whilst this section is not boarded and therefore less practical for regular storage, it does provide further useful loft space. We understand lighting has also been installed within the loft area.

The principal bedroom suite is a particularly impressive room, measuring approximately 15ft x 12ft and enjoying elevated views to the rear elevation. Double doors open into a generous walk-in wardrobe, whilst the ensuite shower room comprises WC, wash hand basin, shaver point and enclosed shower cubicle with electric shower.

Bedroom two is a well-proportioned front-facing double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and pleasant garden outlooks.

Bedroom three mirrors bedroom two in many respects and again benefits from fitted wardrobes, making the arrangement ideal for families requiring balanced bedroom accommodation for children of similar ages.

Bedroom four is a comfortable single room which has previously accommodated a bed and wardrobe with ease, making it equally suitable as a child’s bedroom or home office.

Bathroom

The family bathroom is larger than average and fitted with a three-piece suite incorporating bath with boiler-fed shower over and fitted screen, WC and vanity wash hand basin with storage drawers beneath. Additional features include a heated towel rail, shaver point and opaque privacy window.

Gardens, Garage & External Space

Externally, the property is set back from the road behind a stone boundary wall and wrought iron electric gates incorporating a postbox, creating an immediate sense of privacy and security upon arrival.

A substantial block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles and leads directly to the detached double garage woth electric up and over door, which measures approximately 6.7m x 4.7m, equating to around 339 sq ft. The garage benefits from a pitched roof, creating valuable additional storage space, together with a service door leading directly into the rear garden.

The front garden has been immaculately maintained and further enhances the property’s attractive kerb appeal.

To the rear, the west-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped across gentle tiers and enjoys a particularly private setting. Immediately adjoining the house is a sun terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with a cleverly designed bin storage area positioned discreetly to the side of the property.

Steps rise to a level lawned garden, creating an excellent and secure playing area for children, whilst there is also hardstanding with a greenhouse.

Horizontal fencing forms the rear boundary against the woodland backdrop beyond, whilst a perimeter pathway runs along the left-hand side of the garden. Mature hedging and the offset positioning created by the rear extension combine to provide an excellent degree of privacy from neighbouring properties.

Further practical additions include an EV charging point to the front elevation and an external water tap within the rear garden.

A Rare Opportunity

Homes on West End Drive rarely offer this combination of position, privacy, west-facing gardens, detached garaging and balanced family accommodation.

A wonderful long-term family home in one of Horsforth’s most desirable settings.
