The magnificent Spenfield House sits proudly in the grounds of the Village Hotel in Headingley. Bought on impulse by our client Henry Kordowicz, Spenfield House was widely considered one of the best Victorian homes in the north of England.
After a long battle, planning was eventually granted, allowing Mr. Kordowicz to embark on the tremendous transformation. Through the building’s many years of commercial use, it had lost some of its original features and its wonderful charm. Formerly built for banker James Oxley between 1875 and 1877, it was designed by architect George Corson, who was also responsible for Leeds’ Grand Theatre and city library. During its construction, Oxley spared absolutely no expense, and the highly decorative interior became widely celebrated. From the Byzantine-inspired marble columns to the stained glass ceiling lantern, Spenfield House oozes elegance. In addition to restoring the property’s original features, the architect and builder specified luxury bathrooms and high-quality joinery and kitchens throughout. To further enhance the development’s appeal, our client enlisted us to install a luxurious show apartment.
Comprising 3 bedrooms, a spacious kitchen/living/dining space, and a generous hallway, the show apartment perfectly balances a traditional setting with a contemporary interior. As well as modern open-plan living, the apartment offers luxurious marble bathrooms throughout.
