AMENITIES:

WEST PARK is a much sought after, established residential location to the north-west of Leeds (approximately five miles) and is in a very convenient position for comfortable daily commuting, by car, to the commercial centres of Leeds and Bradford and the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. There are regular public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university, on the nearby Otley Road which is barely 10 minutes walk from the property. There is a local shopping parade on Spen Lane which includes a Co-op, a chemist, post office and popular fish and chip shop and this is also less than 10 minutes walk via open green space and playing fields or two minutes drive by car.

The famous Golden Acre Park is approximately three miles and only several minutes drive (also on a bus route from Otley Road) as is delightful open countryside. Leeds Bradford Airport is about 15-20 minutes drive. The Village Hotel and Leisure Club is about 10 minutes walk and West Park Parades (a similar distance) have hair and beauty salons, a coffee bar and restaurants, as well as a useful launderette. There are very popular primary and secondary schools in the area including St Chads Church of England Primary School, which is only a few minutes walk.
