Ling Lane, Scarcroft, Leeds, LS14 3HY

One of the finest Georgian houses in the region

Description

Beacon Hill is a particularly fine country house dating from the early 19th Century and was one of the earliest properties to be built in the area. Grade II listed on account of its unique Gothic architecture, featuring dramatic high pitched roofs, intricate ornamentation, pointed arches and striking mullioned windows, the property is privately positioned, shielded by the outbuildings and mature parkland which create a unique rural setting so close to the city of Leeds.

The house and its numerous outbuildings have been the subject of an extensive and painstaking programme of renovation and refurbishment, which have created a house of considerable stature and quality, extending to just over 8000 square feet, with an additional 4867 square feet of outbuildings and garaging (just under 13,000 sq ft in all).

A grand house, but with a practical arrangement of rooms, both formal and leisure spaces, many of near perfect proportion, all bathed in copious amounts of natural light, perfect for a growing family expecting regular guests.

The outbuildings present an excellent opportunity to create additional annexed accommodation or office space, although they current provide an excellent work space and storage.

Alongside the buildings is a stand alone garage block featuring a triple bay garage with store and workshop on either side.

The grounds are a particular highlight, arranged over a series of terraces, the upper section finished in ornate contrasting stone flags dissected by an ornamental pond, the next level laid mainly to lawn, dotted with impressive specimen trees, including some very fine mature copper beeches. The final section has been designed to blend into the surrounding countryside, deliberately left unplanted so as not to obstruct the wonderful views.

Square Footage: 8,069 sq ft

Acreage: 3.12 Acres
