Far Headingley: what to know before moving day
Like the rest of Headingley, Far Headingley has a lot of student houses and homes to let, so a move here can mean a shared house emptying or filling at once, with several people's things on different floors. If that is your move, label each room's boxes and tell us how many bedrooms are going, so the price covers the whole house. Leeds City Council has had a conservation area appraisal for Far Headingley since 2008.
The postcode line runs through the middle: Moor Road and the streets around it are LS6, while Hollin Lane, Hollin Crescent and Weetwood Lane to the north are LS16. Landmarks that help the van find you include St Chad's parish church, the Cottage Road Cinema, and Woodies and the Three Horseshoes, the two pubs where the Otley Run pub crawl begins. The parish itself was created in 1868.
How the van gets to Far Headingley
The A660 is the road through Far Headingley, named Otley Road on this stretch. From Bradford the van can come across on the A6120 Leeds Outer Ring Road and turn south down Otley Road at Lawnswood, which avoids the centre of Headingley. Weetwood Lane and Shaw Lane lead off to the side streets. From Bradford to this stretch of Otley Road is roughly 25 to 35 minutes, as an estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Far Headingley: questions before you book
Is Far Headingley in Headingley ward?
No. Far Headingley is in the Weetwood ward of Leeds City Council, together with West Park and Weetwood, even though its name ties it to Headingley.
Can you move a whole shared student house in one go?
Often, yes, as long as it fits the van: one long wheelbase Transit with a load space of 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m. Send a list of what each person is taking and we will say if it needs two runs.
