Donnelly & Co are delighted to present this characterful two-bedroom Victorian top-floor apartment, occupying an enviable position on Burton Crescent, widely regarded as one of Headingley’s most prestigious residential addresses.

Boasting impressive ceiling heights, generous room proportions and an abundance of natural light, the apartment enjoys elevated tree-canopy views, all set within beautifully maintained communal grounds extending to approximately 0.2 acres.

The accommodation would benefit from light refurbishment, including the replacement of some single-glazed windows in need of repair and a modernised bathroom, presenting an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to enhance and personalise a superb period home.

The Accommodation:

A spacious, square entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. The generous living room, complete with a feature fireplace, is further enhanced by a striking sash window which frames far-reaching elevated views and floods the space with natural light.

The galley-style kitchen with a dormer window, is well equipped with integrated appliances including a double oven, five-ring gas hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer, with the combination boiler neatly housed within the space, and—subject to professional advice—offers potential to be opened up to create a more open-plan arrangement flowing into the sizeable living room.

The principal bedroom is an impressive ‘L’-shaped double, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and excellent proportions, with sash windows framing pleasant views . The second bedroom is a comfortable and well-proportioned single, enhanced by a Velux style window that floods the room with natural light, making it ideal as a guest room, home office or nursery, while the bathroom is fitted with a suite including a shower over the bath; please note there has been a historic leak from the bathroom which is now dry to the best of the vendor’s knowledge, and the affected area will require replastering.

Occupying the top floor of this handsome and well-maintained Victorian building, the apartment enjoys a sense of privacy and panoramic outlooks that truly set it apart.

Some damp is visible on the chimney breast in both the principal bedroom and the living room. A full damp survey and roof inspection have already been completed, and the chimney flashing has been renewed to prevent any further moisture entering the property. The roof itself was replaced in 2020 and confirmed to be in good condition during a follow‑up inspection in November 2025.

The previous damp readings in these rooms have been linked to natural salts within the original brickwork — a common feature in older homes — rather than any ongoing issue. These salts can remain present over time. To help manage this, a quotation of approximately £6,000 has been obtained for installing a membrane dry‑lining system.

The sellers have made both the survey report and the quotation available on request. As with any property purchase, buyers are encouraged to arrange their own independent inspection with a qualified specialist before exchanging contracts
