White Lodge, Headingley

Moores Estate Agents
This seven-bedroom, three-bath detached property in Headingley boasts an elegant Victorian style with gorgeous green garden space that backs onto the Woodhouse Ridge and Meanwood Valley Trail.

Tucked away from the city hustle and bustle but with easy transport access to the city centre, the potential of this property is a rare find in central Leeds.
Estate Agent Director, Michael Moore personally gave his perspective on the fascinating property. “Properties on Headingley Hill of this scale rarely come up for sale. The majority are Victorian stone houses, built by the affluent business people of Victorian Leeds to escape the smog laden city in the early to mid-1800’s. This detached villa is different. The design appears to be inspired from the Arts and Crafts movement but I have no documents to hand to confirm that. Nonetheless, the double fronted, twin gable bays, with over 3,400 sq.ft. of accommodation make it an impressive property whatever the era.”
Listed with Moores Estate Agents, it is advertised with a guide price of £640,000 but is only accepting ‘best and final offers’
