Description

Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood west of York, this semi-detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to create a personalized living space. The property is situated in the desirable suburb of Rawcliffe, known for its community feel and accessibility to various local amenities. While the bungalow offers ample single-level living, it does require substantial modernization. Notably, the lounge area has experienced damp issues, making it imperative for potential buyers to approach this section with caution during viewings. However, this aspect also highlights the opportunity for significant enhancement and reconfiguration to meet modern standards and personal preferences. The internal layout prioritizes width over depth, featuring a bright lounge characterized by a large double-glazed window that allows natural light to flood in. The kitchen includes essential amenities such as wall and base units, an integrated electric oven with gas hob, plumbing for a washing machine, and access to the outdoor space through a double-glazed door. This bungalow provides two spacious double bedrooms; one includes fitted wardrobes while the other boasts built-in storage along with a cupboard housing the gas combination boiler. A traditional timber-framed conservatory adds charm and offers views of the rear garden, which is ideal for relaxation or entertaining guests. The shower room is equipped with a walk-in electric shower, wash hand basin with base unit, and WC. Outside, the property features a well-maintained lawn at the front along with a side driveway that accommodates off-street parking for multiple vehicles. The enclosed rear garden showcases a paved seating area surrounded by planted borders and includes hard standing that could be transformed into a garage or greenhouse. With its promising potential for customization and improvement, combined with its sought-after location near respected schools and excellent transport links to York city center and Clifton Moor Retail Park, this bungalow represents an intriguing investment opportunity for those ready to take on a project in Rawcliffe.
