Oakwood is a mix of late Victorian stone terraces, Edwardian semis with large bay windows and 1930s houses on the roads between Roundhay Road and Gipton Wood. The parade around the Oakwood clock gives the area a village feel.

Our advice for Oakwood homes

Oakwood's late Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis were built with big bays and decorative glass, and the best replacements keep those features. White or cream sliding sashes, or flush casements with glazing bars, suit most homes here, finished with a heritage composite door in a deep green, blue or black.

Practical things we check in Oakwood

Homes on Roundhay Road and Oakwood Lane take traffic and bus noise, so acoustic glass in front bedrooms is a sensible upgrade. Parts of Oakwood are in the conservation area, so we check the rules for your street before we quote. Many houses have small front gardens and stone steps, so we protect paths and walls while we work.

The parade around the Oakwood clock gives the area a village feel, and homes nearby often have original stained glass, which we can usually keep in a new sealed unit.

Owners of homes near Gipton Wood and Roundhay Park often ask about the stained glass in porches, and we can usually keep or copy it.
