Overview
A distinguished Grade II listed townhouse within the city walls offered for sale for only the second time in its history. Constructed in 1858 by James Simpson of Leeds as the residence of the Headmaster and Chapel Keeper of the adjacent Wesleyan Methodist School. 13 Priory Street is a handsome double fronted property which has benefitted from a recent and comprehensive programme of works both internally and externally, with vast further potential (subject to the necessary planning).The design and layout of the property are very representative of the many fine houses built at that time of which symmetry and balance are key. There are numerous significant architectural features throughout including sash windows and stone sills, panelled doors, fireplaces and moulded eaves cornice.On the ground floor the entrance hallway and central staircase leads to the elegant and well-proportioned reception rooms, including a drawing room, lounge, dining room and kitchen. The modern fitted kitchen includes a range of wall and base units, fitted oven, gas hob, extractor over and space for appliances. A staircase from the kitchen leads to a usable cellar.To the first floor are three double bedrooms, fourth single bedroom, and modern house bathroom suite. Externally the forecourt has retained the ornate cast iron railings and to the rear the house benefits from a generous walled garden with ancient fruiting pear tree. The size of the garden is quite remarkable for such a central location.HISTORYJames Simpson (1791-1864) was the son of a labourer from Aberford, West Yorkshire. By 1822 he had moved to Leeds where he was initially a joiner, and as such contracted for the joinery of the Brunswick Chapel designed by Joseph Botham. He was still working as a joiner in the 1830s, but by 1839 was described as an architect. Strong family links with the Wesleyan community in Leeds helped to bring him a number of commissions for chapels.PARKINGThere is vehicular access to the front of the property for loading/unloading.
