Description

This spacious semi-detached bungalow, dating back to the 1950s, is situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering two well-proportioned double bedrooms. While the property would benefit from some modernization, it presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment, allowing buyers to tailor the space to their preferences. The layout comprises an entrance hall that leads into a bright sitting room featuring a gas fire, creating a cozy focal point. The kitchen diner provides ample space for dining and cooking with sufficient cabinets and integrated appliances, while the side lobby and utility area add functionality for day-to-day living. The generous roof space above the bungalow offers significant potential for expansion into additional accommodation, pending necessary approvals. Surrounding the home are gardens on three sides, which include established lawns and shrub borders as well as practical storage options like garden sheds and a greenhouse. A driveway ensures off-street parking for convenience. Located just off Sawmill Lane, this property is within walking distance of Helmsley's vibrant town centre. Renowned for its charming atmosphere, Helmsley features a weekly market along with an array of shops, restaurants, and local delicatessens. The proximity to the North York Moors National Park enhances its appeal, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking in Duncombe Park or exploring the Hambleton Hills. With its prime location and potential for updates or expansions, this bungalow not only serves as a comfortable residence but also represents a worthwhile investment in a highly sought-after area.
