The sellers told us:

“We have been very happy in Glebe Terrace since 1983 but are now moving away from Leeds. We’ll be sorry to leave this lovely house and our friendly neighbours, several of whom have lived in the terrace even longer than us. We liked the fact it’s tucked away yet within walking distance of a cinema, shops, pubs and restaurants, with Waitrose in Meanwood only a short drive or a walk through the park. It’s a few minutes to the bus stop for frequent services to the university or the city centre, and the green spaces of Meanwood Park and The Hollies are easy to walk to. We wanted to retain the character, with the original cornices and main fireplaces. A previous owner had replaced the dormer with an ugly modern one but when it needed repair we decided to restore it to its original form, reinstating the unspoiled appearance of the front of the terrace. A number of neighbours have extended at the rear of the kitchens. We obtained planning permission to extend but circumstances changed and we didn’t proceed. The top floor, which we have used mostly for storage, could be a wonderful space from which to work from home, undisturbed by the rest of the household. The sun streams into the front windows in the morning, while the back garden gets the afternoon sun. We hope someone else will have many happy years in this house.”
