Description

Presenting a two-bedroom detached bungalow located in a desirable residential neighborhood of Huddersfield (HD5), this property offers a unique opportunity for renovation or investment. The home features two generous double bedrooms, providing ample space for comfortable living. A spacious lounge bathed in natural light invites relaxation, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area promotes an inviting atmosphere suitable for modern lifestyles. The bathroom is fully tiled and equipped with standard fittings, and gas central heating along with UPVC double glazing enhance overall efficiency. The property boasts substantial front and rear gardens that not only offer privacy but also potential for future enhancement or development. Notably, the rear plot previously received planning permission for 24 self-contained flats—a significant opportunity that could easily be revisited by prospective developers. Alternatively, the land could support the construction of two sizable 4/5-bedroom homes, contingent on securing appropriate planning consent. Situated within a vibrant community, this bungalow enjoys proximity to local amenities, schools, and major transport routes. This advantageous location makes it appealing to both tenants and future buyers, reinforcing its value as an investment property. Currently vacant and chain-free, the bungalow is ready for immediate acquisition. With all existing contents to be removed before completion, it presents a blank canvas for potential owners or investors alike—whether they choose to renovate for personal use or explore buy-to-let options in a market noted for increasing rental demand. This property truly represents an excellent option not just as a family home but also as an investment opportunity with multiple avenues for growth in an evolving real estate landscape.
