The Old Reservoir, Wike Lane, Leeds, LS17 9ED
This highly individual and eye catching property is a fantastic example of grand designs. A striking contemporary home which blends into its surroundings, the likes of which we have not seen in this area. It is a genuine one off and so rare to find for sale, let alone to rent. Located in the stunning Yorkshire countryside, the property looks on to the picturesque village of East Keswick. The property is largely hidden from the outside world but has spectacular uninterrupted views across the countryside towards the Harewood Estate.
The entire property benefits from underfloor heating and a state of the art Control Four system which controls the lighting, heating, security and sound system at the push of a button. From the moment you pass through the oversized and imposing entrance door there is a feeling of space, light, modern and easy living. This is a house with a WOW factor both inside and out.
The kitchen/dining/living area is the hub of the home. It is a sociable and very relaxing space ideal for a quiet night in or entertaining friends and family. Two sides of the room boast full height sliding doors which frame the surrounding countryside like a living picture. The kitchen itself is of the highest quality, designed and fitted by Harrogate based Nest, incorporating Miele appliances, a Quooker tap, quality easy to clean down surfaces and of course the stunning kitchen island with breakfast bar seating. The chefs amongst you will love cooking here. The adjoining living/dining area is divided by a feature wall designed to incorporate a TV, with a stunning living flame fire beneath which on an evening is so pretty and gives a completely new mood to the area.
There is an excellent size utility/boot room with a washing and drying machine and bespoke fitted units as well as a large cloakroom, WC and a superb office space..and what a place for those fortunate enough to be able to work from home!
The bedrooms continue to impress impressive, all bespoke, beautifully designed and with en suite facilities. The principal bedroom suite is entered through a bespoke fitted dressing area, opening onto the bedroom itself with its own breath taking views across the valley. It is soo private, peaceful, very relaxing and must be incredible to see the sun rise and set. The en suite bathroom has the feeling of indulgent luxury with Villeroy and Bosch sanitary ware, slate tiles, a large walk in shower, his and hers sinks and a free-standing bath.
The additional three bedrooms are also impressive, each with individual en suite bathrooms and very handy built in wardrobes.
Externally, you simply have to come and see the views for yourself. There is a wrap around portion of land extending to circa 1.75 acres. The gardens have been carefully designed and landscaped for low maintenance and ease of living. Two large sunken patio areas on the north and south sides of the property provide spaces to enjoy the morning and evening sun. Plenty of sun trap spots for the Summer BBQ, the sun lounger and the perfect spot for your favourite drink as the sun sets. The property is approached via a long sweeping driveway and electric gates. The gravelled entrance in front of the property offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. There is then the double garage with electric doors and heated flooring. Ideal for those with a car collection wishing to keep some or all at home.
