5 Bedroom Detached

Property Description

Nestled on one of Roundhay’s most sought-after, tree-lined cul-de-sacs, this double-fronted Victorian residence was built in 1898 and has had only 4 families own it in 127 years, with the current owners having lovingly cherished it for 48 years. Rich in character and timeless charm, the home sits within a beautifully landscaped and private plot, holding decades of treasured memories and now awaiting its next chapter.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Roundhay, the property is just a short walk from Roundhay High School (rated outstanding), the expansive Roundhay Park, the vibrant amenities of Street Lane, and excellent transport links. Wedgewood Drive offers the ideal blend of a peaceful, leafy setting with everyday convenience close at hand—making it a truly perfect home for family life.

There are excellent schools within easy reach - both public and private (Grammar School at Leeds just 10 minutes away, with a bus at the end of the road) and the house is ideally placed for access into Leeds city centre as well as both hospitals and the regions motorway network, for travel further afield. London is just over two hours away via mainline train services which run from Leeds to London’s Kings Cross.

Upon entry of this much-loved family home, you are welcomed by an entrance vestibule with beautiful original stained glass, leading into a bright and inviting central hallway.
To the right lies a generous family sitting room with a charming bay window, while to the left, a formal dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining. Both reception rooms are bathed in natural light from large sash windows that overlook the leafy front garden.
At the rear of the ground floor, a further reception/breakfast room exudes warmth and character with its detailed panelling and cosy log-burning stove—an ideal space to relax and unwind. Across the hallway, the spacious breakfast kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry, generous worktop space, integrated appliances, and access to both the rear garden and cellar.
Completing the ground floor is a WC.

The cellar itself is full of potential, currently used as a workshop and storage space, with excellent head height. Two further easily accessible voids beneath the property offer exciting opportunities for excavation and development—whether as a cinema room, gym, home office, or similar (subject to the necessary permissions).

Upstairs, a wide split-level landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while three further doubles and a generous single bedroom are served by the house bathroom. A substantial loft space also offers scope for conversion, as has been successfully achieved in neighbouring homes (subject to planning).

Externally, the property is approached through a well-established front garden with a neat lawn, vibrant borders, and a generous driveway providing parking for three to four cars. To the rear lies a beautifully landscaped, west-facing garden—mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, hedging, and well-stocked borders. A walled patio seating area creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the garden itself offers both a private retreat and a wonderful family-friendly space. Completing the plot is a large double garage, formerly a stable, now repurposed as a substantial workshop with a boarded hayloft above - offering further exciting potential. There is also a separate outhouse/workshop and a gardener’s WC.
