5 bedroom detached house for sale

Coming to the market for the first time in almost 50 years, Woodlands is a unique detached Victorian residence, well located in the heart of Horsforth. This beautiful property is in a quiet location, yet only a short walk to all the amenities Horsforth has on offer and excellent transport links. Dating back to the 1870s, it has retained much of its character with large, airy rooms complete with original fireplaces and features and is surrounded by mature gardens providing a sense of privacy. The property has undergone modern extensions and part conversions to give flexibility in its layout and use. The main house spans approximately 2,700 sq. ft. and features five bedrooms.
