5 bedroom house

The Chantry is one of the most historic houses in Leeds still in private ownership, being an excellent example of the arts and crafts movement of the early 20th Century. The house sits in 2/3 acre of gardens which comprise large formal areas, all surrounded by a wide wildlife habitat belt.

This lovely family home is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway with an original oak and stained glass front door and a built in bar area and access to all of the principal rooms. The spacious drawing room has beautiful oak panelling with Cherry Wood flooring and an open real fire with reclaimed bricks from a 300 year old Windmill in Colton. The additional five reception rooms comprise; a morning room with an open real fire with access to the rear terrace, a kitchen with fitted wall and base units providing ample storage space, a formal dining room with Japanese Oak flooring and wall panelling, a sunroom and a study with access to a separate room which could also work as a ground floor bedroom. There are also two guest W.C.s to this floor.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a large house bathroom featuring handmade Cherrywood cabinets and a granite worktop. A particular feature of this wonderful home is the great size main bedroom with an open cast iron fire and a four piece ensuite with a sunken bath.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway with parking for ample vehicles and access to a single garage. Overall, The Chantry is set in a fantastic plot of approximately 2/3 of an acre, with the rear garden being predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of blossom and fruit trees, a fruit and vegetable garden and a substantial terrace area perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Whitkirk is an ideal location for ease of access into the commercial business centre of Leeds, surrounding suburbs and Motorway access using the A1/M1 Link Road.
