Degree of history beckons tenants

RENTING could hopefully prove “academic” for one Leeds agent.

For Hilly Ridge, a listed villa in one of Headingley’s most sought-after suburbs, is the Vice Chancellor’s Lodge formerly belonging to nearby Leeds University – and has been home to numerous ‘Sirs’ and ‘Lords’ since it was built in 1839.

Now, mortar boards havegiven way to ‘To Let’ boards as the fivebedroomed house in Grosvenor Road becomes available to rent through Castlehill estate agents.

“It is one of the biggest family homes in Headingley and is steeped in history,” said Castlehill director Paul Lehan.

It is available for a monthly rent of £2,500. Tel: 0113 278 7427 or visit www.castlehill.co.uk.
