Tucked away in a quiet part of Horsforth and backing directly onto mature woodland, this beautifully extended four-bedroom semi-detached home offers an exceptional balance of family living, flexibility and privacy. Occupying an extensive woodland plot, it provides a wonderful environment for older or growing children to explore, entertain and enjoy, whilst remaining within easy reach of excellent schools, amenities and transport links.
Having been significantly enhanced by the current owners, including a substantial double-storey extension completed in 2022, the property combines the character of a traditional 1920s home with the practicality expected of modern family life. The extension benefits from the appropriate planning permission and building regulations approval.
The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a superb full-length living room, recently redecorated and fitted with new carpets, creating a fresh and inviting everyday family space. Natural light pours through the elegant bay window to the front, Velux rooflight above and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, whilst a feature fireplace with gas fire provides a cosy focal point during the cooler months.
A separate dining room, centred around a charming wood-burning stove, offers the perfect setting for family gatherings before flowing seamlessly into the impressive breakfast kitchen. Finished with granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and an excellent range of cabinetry, the kitchen also incorporates integrated appliances including a double oven, hob and dishwasher. Multiple Velux windows flood the room with natural light, and a door provides direct access to the garden.
One of the home’s most attractive features is the highly versatile extension. Currently accessed independently from outside and utilised as an excellent work-from-home space, it also links directly into the main house and could equally serve as a self-contained annexe, teenage retreat, guest accommodation or an additional family room. The ground floor also incorporates a generous utility/cloakroom, guest WC and comfortable sitting room, making this an exceptionally adaptable part of the property.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys peaceful woodland views through French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony and is complemented by a dedicated dressing room and contemporary en-suite shower room. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family life, with the second bedroom also benefiting from loft ladder access to a useful boarded loft room with a Velux window. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor.
Externally, the property is every bit as impressive. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides generous off-road parking alongside a lawned garden.
The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the home’s defining features. Backing directly onto woodland, the extensive plot has been thoughtfully designed to offer something for every generation. A generous paved terrace creates the ideal entertaining space before leading to lawned gardens and an enchanting woodland area beyond, providing a wonderful natural playground for older children, a peaceful retreat for adults and a setting that changes beautifully throughout the seasons. Mature trees and established planting create an exceptional sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.
A detached garage, complete with light and power, offers excellent storage or workshop space.
Homes offering this level of flexibility, privacy and woodland surroundings are exceptionally rare in Horsforth. Whether you’re seeking space for a growing family, multi-generational living, or simply somewhere with room to work from home whilst enjoying an outstanding garden setting, this is a property that effortlessly adapts to changing lifestyles for many years to come.
