Description

This charming three-bedroom semi-detached home, steeped in character, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled on a peaceful tree-lined street on the outskirts of Wakefield city centre, the property boasts significant potential for future enhancements. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads to a high-ceilinged living room and a formal dining area, both offering ample natural light. The modern kitchen is well-equipped and conveniently connects to a conservatory that overlooks expansive rear gardens—perfect for those looking to expand or create outdoor living spaces. Additionally, this floor includes a practical utility/W.C. and access to a useful basement area. The first floor houses three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout is conducive to easy reconfiguration if desired, providing further scope for personalization or expansion (subject to planning permission). Externally, the property is set on a wide plot with beautifully maintained front, side, and south-facing rear gardens. There are two separate entrances: one from Poplar Avenue leading to off-road parking and another from Eden Avenue that provides access to a double garage—offering versatility for the growing family or those needing extra storage. Located in a sought-after neighborhood known for its appealing environment, this home is conveniently close to local schools, bus routes, shops, and offers easy access to motorway networks—a significant advantage for commuters. The property is being sold with no upper chain, making it ideal for buyers ready to make their mark or families seeking space to grow. Investors will find this property particularly appealing due to its potential for extension and modernization while retaining its unique period features. The long-term family ownership of over 50 years adds an additional layer of charm and history to the home.
