Priors Mead is a charming "English Country Garden" style cottage, Grade II listed and set in the highly sought after semi-rural hamlet of Priestley Green in Lightcliffe. Offered with the fantastic advantage of NO CHAIN, this is a rare opportunity to acquire and renovate a property of genuine historical character and distinction in one of the area's most desirable locations. A neatly presented hedgerow frontage with white picket fence opens into a beautifully tended lawned and enclosed garden, offering a warm and welcoming first impression, with views beyond over fields and equestrian facilities to Lightcliffe village.

The house features manicured and private surrounding lawned gardens, to all three external sides of the property, creating the perfect place to sit out and relax or for children and pets to play. An idyllic setting for a summer’s garden party, reminiscent of traditional English culture that seems lost in today’s modern world.

It is a large plot, encompassing around 1/3 acre of space, with plenty of hidden areas and outbuildings; the more you explore the more you will find.

Internally you will find a large and spacious property, in need of full modernisation throughout, that offers a renovation project that you can put your own stamp onto. Featuring large rooms throughout, all with original period features that will impress and delight. With its large and open dining room/reception, spacious living room, highly functional kitchen, utility room, internal workshop/studio room, ground floor WC, storage cellar, four double bedrooms and a house bathroom. With so much on offer and in such a unique presentation, this house needs to be viewed internally to fully appreciate the immense space on offer.

Priestley Green hamlet offers plenty of local features, including the “Secret Waterfall” and the well regarded Circular Trail (a 3.3 mile woodland and farmland nature walk looping the area and passing ancient woodlands, Coley Beck and Woodfall Beck Waterfall). Priestley Green is well connected to the local area, being in Lightcliffe and within easy access of Hipperholme village. The M62 motorway is only a short 10 minute drive offering quick and easy access to the major cities of Leeds and Manchester. The Halifax and Brighouse train stations, both offer quick and easy access to the Grand Central train service to London. The property also is within easy access of good local schools.
