With gas central heating and large portrait windows, this apartment briefly comprises a private entrance hall with store cupboard, a lounge with a furniture friendly footprint, a modern kitchen, a double bedroom and a bathroom with over bath shower. The location is within a couple of minutes’ walk of Headingley train station, and handy for numerous public transport links into the city centre and the universities. Five minutes away is the famous Headingley cricket ground and rugby ground, as well as all the shops and bars in Headingley and Kirkstall.
