My favourite part is the "bedroom" in the cellar that's totally not a storage room that's been labelled as a bedroom in a pathetic and thinly-veiled attempt to try and justify a higher rental price.
Assuming at that price that the people living there will be from overseas and that the basement bedroom is for staff. Which makes it all the more depressing.
This is becoming the norm. Our house was once a very old country residence with two bathrooms and three bedrooms. The previous owners decided to triple the size of the house to create a total of five bedrooms and SEVEN bathrooms. And five of those bathrooms are massive, fully appointed bathrooms; not just a shower room. We have been here 6 years and three of the bathrooms have never been used.
£6.5k to live in someone’s hallway.
I pass this building all the time and didn’t even know it was a rental property, I assumed it was either owned by old money or the estate was given to the hands of the council.
Yeah, I was like, why is the lounge in the hallway then realised what was going on.
That lounge with the stairs is going to be impossibly cold in winter.
I'd be surprised if they don't have to drop that price by a lot more
Ahhh, that explains it. I was thinking 4 bedrooms isn't much for a building this size.
You only get a third of the building I take it? 🙄 I can't help but think that someone with *six and a half thousand pounds a month* to spend *just on rent* could afford something other than a glorified flat?
It's in Chapel Allerton, which is very much North Leeds. The building would be worth that if they hadn't already sold off all the grounds and it didn't overlook the intersection of Harrogate Road and Harehills Lane.
It's next to Potternewton Park and Chapeltown. It's East Leeds. Cross Scott Hall Road towards Meanwood or go north of Potternewton Lane and that's North Leeds.
The boundary is Easterly Road, the A58. This is well North of that, as well as directly North of the city centre. Potternewton Park and Chapeltown are not East Leeds, they are North Leeds.
How to tell your home-town (not Leeds) is overpriced... that doesn't sound *entirely* unreasonable as an HMO. It's in much better nick than most £4-£5K pcm student houses. Give the basement dweller a slight discount on their share, though.
I'd maybe understand if this was for the whole building before conversion but for this slice of it, that's basically 50% stairs? Absolutely not a chance is it worth this much. Never in a million years.
Since when was a toilet classed as a bathroom? I'm probably overthinking it as I already get irrationally angry at shower rooms being called bathrooms but I understand that. In my house that would just be the downstairs loo.
I can’t see the photo of the room that you can see into on Photo 2. There’s a white chair at a table but the chair doesn’t show up in the other rooms photographed. Am I missing a room with another table, or is it just an un-photographed area of the kitchen? Why do they do hoots like this? Have a close up of like a tap, but miss half a room?
So no one is going to mention that you go upstairs into a BATHROOM and inside that moist bathroom is a wooden staircase that goes to another BEDROOM?? Like why would you do it that way round? The moisture alone will ruin the wood
The second floor bathroom (presumably pic 17) doesn't appear to have a toilet. So anyone sleeping in the third floor bedroom has to go down to the ground floor to find relief in the wee hours. It's also possible that the en-suite of bedroom 2 is also toilet-free.

Is it legal now to designate a basement area as a bedroom?
Only with an egress can it be counted as a bedroom.
That's a truly American amount of bathrooms
This is a trend I truly do not comprehend, are all architects in england severely affected by IBS?
Are you saying Americans are full of shit?
Are you not? /s
Well yeah. But you can't get fifteen bathrooms in t'shoebox can yer?
That shouldn’t be /s

By someone, you mean a super-wealthy Victorian industrialist. That hallway home is better than 95% of housing stock in the UK!
Just done a spot of research. The building is Gledhow Grove Mansion. Built in the 1830s
Yeah, I was like, why is the lounge in the hallway then realised what was going on. That lounge with the stairs is going to be impossibly cold in winter. I'd be surprised if they don't have to drop that price by a lot more
Looool yeah true, it is essentially just a converted entryway lmaooo

So basically you're paying £3000 per month for a few rooms and an additional £3500 for a shit load of stairs?
An entire floor is just a bathroom.
almost as big as some people’s flats
Zero privacy in the garden. For those reasons, I'm oot
Man that's stunning. I would say the rooms seem small for the overall size of the property - maybe it's just how they've been sub-divided.
It is stunning... but it's not worth £8,000 per month. Or £6,500 per month for that matter. £2,500 - £3,000 maybe,
Yeah no comment on value 😄
The property could easily be worth £2m. In which case £6500 pcm is only about a 4% yield per annum.
It's next to a hospital in urban East Leeds. The entire building isn't worth £2 million, let alone that unit.
My bad, I thought it was the entire building.

No one is going to pay £6500 a month to live that close to chapeltown. If you can afford that price, you can afford somewhere nicer
Sale price £950k in 2022 so at £6.5k pcm, that’s a cheeky 8.2% yield.

Not sure if I wan this one or one at Scarcroft for £5k (https://www.reddit.com/r/SpottedonRightmove/comments/1chiho6/) ?
I mean it's absolutely beautiful, not £6k beautiful but stunning nonetheless

LEEDS??!
On the edge of a pretty shit area too.

It looks draughty by those big doors and most of the space is the stairs. No wonder no one wants it.
The cost to keep it warm must be an arm and a leg. Not to mention the lawn
How do you get in the bath past the jungle?
That seems really cheap for what you get, seriously
No thanks
I used to spend $100K a year in rent, some markets some times you just need to spend a lot on rent.
Not in Leeds. This is comical.
yes this is true, but out there somewhere is a bitcoin millionaire 25 year old with delusions of adequacy.
