Tucked away along the tranquil and highly regarded Bay Horse Lane, Wolinski Nursery represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home, carefully designed not simply to impress architecturally, but to enhance everyday living. Constructed in 2019 for the current owners, the vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a style icon that would allow them to enjoy later life with ease, comfort and complete connection to the surrounding gardens and landscape.

The result is remarkable.

From the moment the property comes into view, the contemporary pressed zinc architectural cladding, limestone elevations and clean linear design establish an immediate sense of quality and intent. Yet despite the striking aesthetic, the home feels warm, calming and incredibly liveable throughout.

Occupying a level yet subtly elevated plot, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy. The positioning naturally sets the home away from the road and public outlook, allowing the gardens and living spaces to feel wonderfully secluded and peaceful.

Internally, the home unfolds around a breathtaking central open plan living environment measuring over 31 feet. This vast yet beautifully balanced space forms the true heart of the home, seamlessly connecting lounging, dining and entertaining areas beneath clean architectural lines and carefully considered lighting.

Oversized aluminium framed glazing floods the interior with natural light throughout the day, whilst expansive sliding doors create a near seamless transition onto the terraces and gardens beyond. Whether enjoying morning coffee in a sunny south-facing corner or retreating to a shaded terrace later in the day, the house has been designed to offer constantly changing spaces to enjoy the setting from every angle.

The contemporary wood burning stove introduces warmth and texture to the minimalist aesthetic, whilst engineered oak flooring runs throughout much of the accommodation, further softening the modern design language.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed around both entertaining and practicality, centred around a substantial oversized island with quartz worktops and extensive preparation space. A range of Neff and Bosch Integrated appliances with the overall design intentionally understated and timeless.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive.

The principal suite is a genuine sanctuary, enjoying glorious garden outlooks through full height glazing and complete privacy from every angle. The room has been designed with a calm, boutique hotel feel, enhanced by a cleverly considered bed head division which allows excellent wardrobe and storage provision without interrupting the clean, uncluttered aesthetic of the space.

A luxurious en-suite complements the room beautifully, featuring a rainfall shower and carefully proportioned contemporary fittings. The additional bedroom suites continue the same theme, all offering generous proportions and beautifully appointed en-suite facilities.

Beyond the accommodation itself, the property’s efficiency credentials are hugely impressive. The home benefits from a Mitsubishi Ecodan air source heat pump system, underfloor heating throughout, Heatmiser smart controls, high efficiency architectural glazing and an excellent EPC rating of B.

The grounds are every bit as special as the house itself. Carefully landscaped and immaculately maintained, they combine sweeping lawns, acer collection wild meadows, structured planting, mature specimen trees including jacquemontii birch trios, avenues of spring blossom trees, beech and lavender hedge rows with roses all or which act in unison to provide interest all year round and thoughtfully positioned terraces which constantly draw the eye back towards the architecture.

Interestingly, the site itself was formerly a flower nursery, with remnants of the original greenhouses still remaining within the grounds. Subject to any necessary permissions, these may offer future potential or opportunities for further enhancement.

Despite the peaceful semi-rural feel, this particular part of Shadwell remains exceptionally well connected, with Leeds, Wetherby and the wider Yorkshire road network all readily accessible. It is a setting that feels wonderfully tucked away without ever feeling isolated.

When asked what they will miss most about living here, the owners’ response was simple: everything. If they could pick the house up and take it with them, they would.
