It dates back to 1935, apparently built as a wedding gift, which perhaps gives you an indication of the wealth of the original owners. The current state of the property seems to be heavily renovated, but still full of original period features. The windows, the hallway, the distinctive exterior and the grounds are all key selling points here. But there is a modern feel to the interior, the modern working with the 1930s pretty well.

As for location, well, it’s ideal for access to Leeds and is in the ‘highly regarded’ area of Upper Batley, which probably doesn’t do it any harm. Throw in the art deco appeal and we can’t see this being around for long.

Of course, you’ll want to know about the space. In short, there’s plenty of that both inside and out. The double-height entrance hall greets you, complete with feature ‘built-in chrome clock’, original oak veneer doors and chrome wall lights. There’s also a dramatic curved staircase with period balustrade too, but more of that later.

There are also two integral garages, one of which is currently in use as a laundry/sewing room and a large loft space. Outside space includes a semi-circular drive with lawned areas and mature hedging and trees. To the side is a ‘good sized’ vegetable plot, with a large private lawned garden with shrubs and mature trees to the rear. There are also patio areas and a timber summerhouse.
