Horsforth provides copious opportunities for the savvy investor. The town’s charming atmosphere and trendy amenities have made it a popular rental destination for young professionals and couples. There is a nice range of property types from commercial properties to 19th-century homes, to modern homes and flats. At the same time, first-time buyers looking for a safe, quiet place to raise their family will find the wealth of two and three-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes in the local market much to their liking.
Regardless of which side of a real estate transaction you are on, the process can be fraught with uncertainty. No one wants to pay too much or receive too little. And no one wants to have their interests hurt by fine print they were not aware of. At Home of Property, we represent your interests with determination. That means that, whether you are a family or an investor seeking opportunities in the Horsforth area, we examine each potential transaction closely to ensure your interests are properly addressed.
There’s pretty much every type and period of home within Leeds LS18. Much of Horsforth’s housing dates from its 19th century heyday, though it has expanded steadily since to deliver a good blend of property. What’s more, Horsforth’s spot on a hill means many of its properties enjoy broad airy views of the surrounding green spaces. As a rule of thumb, prices rise as you move north and the Cragg Hill district south of the Leeds Ring Road is a little pocket of affordability, as is the Troy district just south of Horsforth station.
Like many of its north Leeds neighbours, Horsforth is a popular settling place for families, and semi-detached two and three-bedders make up almost half of what’s available. However, the recent addition of a 65-acre Redrow development, completed in 2020, added a new lease of life to the area. Situated overlooking the River Aire and Leeds to Liverpool Canal, the development welcomed 500 families into the area with a mix of large detached properties as well as semi’s, terraces and flats.
Trinity and All Saints College attract 2,500 students and some live locally, although there’s no large-scale student ‘quarter’. That may change soon, however, as the college’s plans to double progress.
Property prices are sky high, which has only excelled during the pandemic and you can expect to pay £150k or more for a One-bed Victorian back-to-back. Better value are the ex-local authority three-bed semis at around £200k. If your budget stretches to £250,000, a 1960s mid-terrace town house with three bedrooms could be yours, or if you can spend £300,000 plus, you could snap up a 1950s three-bed semi with drive and garage, situated in a cul-de-sac.
Further up the ladder, £450 to £500k buys a four-bed 1930s house with sizeable garden set back from the main Rawdon Road. A whisker off £700,000 would be enough for an amazing nine-bedded Victorian villa in a quiet spot just off Town Street. Or jump another £150,000 and you’re looking at a modern detached five-bed house set in large gardens off West End Lane, one of the area’s most desirable addresses. That’s close to top money for the neighbourhood, although there are some even grander homes that will sell for over £1m, should they reach market anytime soon, according to Estate Agents in Horsforth.
For much of its history, Horsforth was a sleepy agricultural community. In the 19th-century, people discovered that living in Horsforth provided a respite from the hustle and bustle of Leeds and Bradford. 20th-century urban exiles followed suit and built homes here by the score, turning the idyllic town set amidst the rolling hills of West Yorkshire into a de facto suburb of Leeds. Although, to its credit, it has managed to maintain much of its rural appeal.
The Horsforth retail scene melds national chains with local businesses such as Path & Peak (outdoor pursuits) and Horsforth Bears (soft toys). There are convenience shops, clothing stores, bespoke tailors, a Morrison’s Supermarket, bakers, greengrocers and more. Enjoy eating out? Try Fat Franco’s Italian restaurant, Scarlett’s Sandwich Bar, The Greenhouse (Vegan), The Agora Greek restaurant and of course the popular Banyan Bar & Kitchen right across the road from the HOP Horsforth branch. And if you’re the type who likes to pop down to the pub for a pint, you’re in luck in Horsforth. There’s the King’s Arms, the Queen’s Arms, the Old Ball, the Town Street Tavern, the Fleece, The Grey Horse Inn, and the Sandbar all within a short distance of one another.
If you are interested in finding out a little more about the local history, then you might be pleased to know Horsforth even has its very own museum: Horsforth Village Museum! The museum aims to reflect Horsforth’s heritage in its interesting exhibits, which are drawn from all aspects of life in and around Horsforth and have a great nostalgia and educational value. The museum, which opened to the public in July 1998, is situated at The Green in the heart of the old village.
Public transport is well represented in the town with numerous local and long-distance bus routes crisscrossing the area. From Horsforth Station, one can get to central Leeds in about 10 minutes via train, and if you need or want to go to London for any reason you have several ways to do so. You can fly from Leeds Bradford Airport just a few minutes northwest of Horsforth centre; that will take just over 1 hour. The train will get you there in about 3 hours. Or you can take a long-distance bus and arrive in the capital in about 6 hours. And let’s not forget that you can get to more than 50 international destinations by flying out of nearby Leeds Bradford Airport.

Town Street is lined with numerous boutiques selling everything from shoes and dresses to furniture. Independent shops including Missy, Oaks and Very Stylish Girl are just a few of the clothes shops perfect for that boutique design. If you’re in the mood for the rare or exotic, you are going to love The Cave, where genuine antiques rub elbows with pop culture artefacts and countless curiosities from days gone by.

Trinity and All Saints College is located on the cusp of Horsforth, close to Compark Cricket Ground and Yarnbury (Horsforth) Rugby Club. The College spent £3m on refurbishing its sports centre, which is open to the public and offers a gym, squash, volleyball and indoor football courts. Or, alternatively, a short drive away on Kirkstall Road in Headingley, the council-run sports centre also offers swimming facilities.
The council-run Horsforth Hall Park has a wonderful sense of splendour; features include a cricket ground, bowling green, Japanese garden, brand new skatepark and fantastic play space, particularly suitable for younger kids.
