New-build residential scheme is completed

Work has finished on a residential development in Leeds city centre following a significant investment by developer Countrylarge on land formerly occupied by the Cavalier Pub on Ellerby Road, East Bank.

The development has been named “Public Haus” in a reference to the site’s heritage.

The 16 two-bedroom apartments are ready to occupy and come complete with modern fitted kitchens and off street parking spaces.

Jonathan Morgan, city centre specialist at Linley & Simpson with Morgans, who have been instructed to sell the apartments, said: “High quality, individual schemes in the heart of Leeds are few and far between these days, which is why we are confident that Public Haus will generate plenty of interest.

“The development will give some of the growing army of fans of city living a chance to live in brand new, high quality apartments, just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Leeds.

“The latent demand for city centre and fringe housing is probably greater in Leeds than in any other city in the UK and we are enjoying a strong and growing economy built on diversity.

“Leeds is home to the leading financial and business services sector outside London, two major universities with over 70,000 students, resident theatre, ballet and opera companies, world class sports facilities, a retail offer which is hard to beat, a fast-growing independent food and drink sector and transport links to be proud of.

“We are already seeing a wave of substantial residential or mixed use schemes taking Leeds, as the market picks up.”

Prices for the apartments range from £185,000 – £225,000.
