GENERAL

Built in 1912, Grange Court was one of the first mansion-style blocks to be built in Leeds and this well-managed development is a wonderful example of Edwardian architecture. Many of the apartments are owner-occupied and there are communal gardens at the front for residents to enjoy, located behind an electric gate with keypad entry. Neutrally decorated throughout, the property has hardwood windows and benefits from gas central heating. Briefly comprises: communal entrance, stairs down to the lower ground floor, private entrance hall, living room, dining room, separate kitchen, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. This very light and airy flat has retained some lovely original period features, with some of the rooms having exposed floorboards. There is no ground rent to pay as owners are shareholders in the company that owns the Freehold. Presented to the market with the benefit of NO ONWARD, this is an ideal first time buyer or investor purchase. EARLY VIEWING RECOMMENDED.



AREA

Headingley and Hyde Park are vibrant suburbs in north Leeds, located approximately 3 miles out of the city centre. Grange Court is a relaxed 40-minute walk from the city centre, and yet from the gate is a woodland path that leads along Woodhouse Ridge, down to the beck and through ginnels to Meanwood Park and beyond - a green corridor that carries you out of the city and into the countryside. The property is equidistant of Headingley and Hyde Park corner, with a diverse range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. The Universities & Business Schools are also close-by.
