Description

This three-bedroom detached home presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment, located conveniently near Wakefield City Centre. Set on a generous plot along a tree-lined avenue, the property features a driveway leading to a single garage, along with well-maintained gardens at both the front and rear. Inside, the home's layout includes two sizable reception rooms that offer versatility for modern living. The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway, a comfortable living room, and a dining area that flows into the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a bathroom, each of which holds potential for updates to enhance functionality and style. The outdoor space is equally promising. The front garden has low maintenance features while the rear garden is spacious and fully enclosed, perfect for privacy. With existing structures such as a summerhouse and pond adding charm, there remains significant potential for landscaping enhancements or expansion (subject to planning permission). The property benefits from its proximity to local amenities including shops, schools, and excellent transport links—main bus routes and Wakefield Westgate train station are just minutes away. The motorway network is also readily accessible from this location. Given its size and location, this home offers not just immediate comfort but also long-term investment potential through renovation or expansion. Early viewings are encouraged to appreciate the possibilities this property presents.
