Description

Tucked away on a serene tree-lined street, this detached family home presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment. The property boasts a generous plot with expansive front and rear gardens, offering ample space for potential extensions or landscaping projects, subject to planning approval. Having been cherished by the same owners for over 25 years, the residence features an array of practical living spaces that can be tailored to fit modern lifestyles. Inside, the central hallway welcomes you and provides access to a convenient WC as well as a useful understairs storage area. Double timber doors lead to a spacious sitting room that benefits from dual aspects, allowing natural light to fill the space while offering lovely views of both gardens. At its center, a gas fireplace with a log burner effect creates a cozy focal point. The additional reception room currently serves as a dining area but can be easily adapted for various uses, such as a playroom or home office. The kitchen is located towards the rear and comes equipped with an array of base and wall units, alongside laminate preparation surfaces and integrated appliances including two electric ovens and hobs. There's also potential for further upgrades in this area to enhance functionality. Upstairs are four well-sized bedrooms; three doubles offer flexibility for family arrangements or guest accommodation, while the fourth bedroom is comfortably sized for children or could serve as an office. The property includes two shower rooms—one main part-tiled shower room with modern amenities and another convenient shower room with WC. Outside, the large front garden features lawned areas complemented by mature flowerbeds and shrubs. A tarmac driveway leads to an expansive tandem garage that adds valuable storage options. The private rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, featuring established trees and borders that provide opportunities for gardening enthusiasts or families seeking outdoor space. This property is ideally situated approximately one mile from Knaresborough Railway Station, linking residents with regular services to Harrogate, York, and Leeds—plus connections to London Kings Cross. The surrounding market town offers diverse local shops, restaurants, pubs, and amenities along with King James' School nearby. With its significant development potential combined with location advantages, this home invites buyers looking to invest in renovations while enjoying the comforts it currently offers. Energy efficiency ratings suggest improvement possibilities as well; currently rated at D (55) but capable of achieving C (71). This property is freehold with all mains services believed to be connected. Broadband coverage in this area can reach speeds up to 1600 Mbps—ideal for modern living requirements.
