If you’ve ever fancied living in something that feels halfway between a fairytale cottage and a period drama set, this one might do it.
Tucked away in Gledhow, The Clock House isn’t your typical Leeds terrace. In fact, calling it a terrace feels a bit like calling a castle 'a nice semi'.
Built around 1657, the two-bedroom property is part of the historic Gledhow Hall Estate, a site once owned by none other than Queen Elizabeth I.
It's a beautiful home, inside and out, with Yorkshire stone walls, cobbled courtyards, and the striking clock tower that gives the home its name.
With wrought iron gates and space for up to four vehicles, it feels like you're miles away from the city, while still being firmly in LS8 (and just moments from vibrant shops, bars and restaurants).
The interiors of the clock tower home have been beautiful renovated, with plenty of character but modern comforts, like a deVOL-designed kitchen with quartz worktops, vaulted ceilings, and Crittall-style doors that open straight onto the garden
Other features include a marble fireplace, oak flooring, and calming sage tones.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own spa-like ensuite, plus a second bedroom complete with dressing area.
And then there’s the garden - south-west facing, private, and complete with a sun house that could double as a home office, studio, or just somewhere to hide with a coffee.
The property is currently on the market for offers over £500,000, which, for a Grade II-listed home with this much character and history, feels like it could be a real steal.
A jaw-dropping five-bedroom converted chapel in the Yorkshire hills has been listed for sale - for a cool £895,000.
If you’ve ever fancied living somewhere that looks like it belongs in a period drama but also on the front page of an interiors magazine, then this one in Mill Bank might be worth a nosey.
Tucked away in the scenic Ryburn Valley, this five-bedroom Grade II-listed home is serving Sunday-best-meets-Grand-Designs energy.
From the outside, it’s all stone walls, arched windows, and a proper storybook belfry perched on top. But push through those grand double doors and things take a turn.
We’re talking a triple-height living space, with a bespoke helical staircase, exposed trusses overhead, and natural light pouring in.
Originally designed as an art gallery, the main space is massive and dramatic, with a sunflower-yellow kitchen.
The main bedroom upstairs stretches across the front of the building, with huge arched windows giving you uninterrupted valley views.
There’s even a mezzanine level currently doubling as a yoga and cinema space.
This amazing home actually has three staircases - the main one through the home, another hidden spiral staircase leading to a cosy, timber-lined library; and a third heading from the master bedroom to the mezzanine (which some people in the Rightmove comments have described as the 'staircase of death').

Outside, you’ve got around an acre of gardens - lawns, rose beds, apple trees, and even a rewilded section - plus space for six cars.
Location-wise, you’re deep in countryside calm but still within easy reach of Leeds.
Whether you can afford this place or not, I think we can all agree it's a scroll-stopper, and a really beautiful conversion.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
