Tucked away in a private part of Houghley Lane, Foxfell Cottage is a beautifully and sympathetically renovated Grade II listed cottage. The original gentleman’s residence dates back to 1646 and was later split into what is now 3 cottages. This one of a kind property offers contemporary family living with old age charm, with high ceilings, wooden floors, fireplaces and sash windows throughout, Foxfell Cottage is something special.
The property is situated on the outskirts of Bramley and conveniently placed for public transport links to both Leeds and Bradford, together with both supermarket, local shopping and schools. The Kirkstall valley corridor is close by and offers further amenities including supermarket shopping, bars, restaurants, cinema, Virgin fitness centre and bowling alley.
The lead up to the property is everything you would expect, enter through the beautiful stained glass front door into the open entrance hall with restored parquet flooring and feature fireplace with working open fire, as well as feature exposed stone wall leading up the stairs.This is a really welcoming space and could be used as a further living room if required. There is also under stairs storage.
Leading off to one side is the lounge, again with feature open fire and full height picture window, which opens out on to the side patio area, the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco drink on a summers evening.
From the hallway to the other side, walk through to the country kitchen you would expect to find with such a property; with working log burner and window shutters this is sure to be your favourite room to spend time in, with family and friends. The current owners have tastefully decorated and fitted the kitchen in line with the properties own unique style- there is plenty of space for cooking and entertaining here. There is a good size utility room which is a must for any busy family and newly fitted downstairs shower room. Access to the rear garden is from the utility room.
Up the open staircase from the hallway are three double bedrooms, with wood flooring and plenty of room for storage in each room, one of which also has a feature fireplace. One of the bedrooms is dual aspect, overlooking the garden and the lane. There is a feature wall in the master bedroom exposing some of the original plasterwork adding to the properties quirky character, and the master also enjoys lovely views over the garden. The house bathroom doesn’t disappoint and is in keeping with the rest of the property, is partly tiled, has decorative floor and is fitted with cast iron, free-standing, slipper bath with rainforest shower over. There are full height inbuilt cupboards and access to the boarded loft from the bathroom.
Within the last 10 years the property has been a real labour of love for the current owners. Modernised and renovated including new double glazed sash windows throughout, updated electrics, boiler and re-plastering with lime plaster.
The garden is a fantastic oasis to relax and unwind. Filled with mature shrubs and trees it is perfect for an avid gardener or at the same time low maintenance enough to just let things grow and be surprised at the different colours that come with each season. There are several areas to sit and relax and an artificial lawned area currently set up as children’s play area. There is also a large shed and access by gate out of the property. There is potential to add a driveway to the bottom of the garden if so required but there is currently space directly to the front of the property for 2-3 vehicles and electric car charging point.
This house is truly magical, enter and you won’t want to leave. If you’re looking for character a plenty and country style living, a stone’s throw away from all the amenities of the city, this is the home for you. Must be viewed so call today to arrange your viewing.
