Our advice for Shadwell homes

Shadwell sits on the north-east edge of Leeds, close to Roundhay but with a real village feel. Older stone cottages along Main Street and Gateland Lane sit beside large detached homes on generous plots. Cottages suit flush casements with glazing bars in heritage colours; larger houses suit a matching set of windows with a statement composite or aluminium front door, plus wide bifold or sliding doors to the garden.

Practical things we check in Shadwell

The Shadwell Conservation Area covers the historic core, so the front of a cottage needs a sympathetic design. Several large homes here have extensive glazing to the rear, and we specify laminated glass and multi-point locks on every ground-floor opening. Lanes are narrow, so we plan deliveries with you.

Many Shadwell homes overlook open countryside towards Wike and Slaid Hill, and slim aluminium frames make the most of the view without bulky sightlines.

Owners of cottages near the Red Lion often ask about keeping old leaded glass, which we can set into a new sealed unit.
