Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation or redevelopment, situated within an extensive approximately 0.75-acre plot in a desirable Yorkshire location. The property combines spacious living areas with potential for modernisation, making it ideal for families or those looking to invest in garden space and single-story living. The layout features a welcoming entrance hallway that leads to a generous lounge complete with a feature fireplace and dual aspect windows, creating a bright and airy environment. A conservatory provides additional living space with views of the expansive gardens. The kitchen is well-equipped but could benefit from updates, while the separate dining room enhances the property's versatility. On the ground floor, two double bedrooms offer built-in storage solutions, complemented by a family-sized four-piece bathroom. An additional bedroom on the first floor boasts characterful eaves space. The outdoor areas are particularly impressive, featuring sweeping lawns alongside established fruit trees and allotment space—perfect for those with green fingers or seeking sustainable living options. With ample off-street parking via a long private driveway and a detached garage/workshop equipped with power supply, this property holds significant potential for extensions or alternative uses, further enhancing its investment appeal. Given its extensive plot and sought-after location near local amenities and schools, this bungalow is ripe for transformation into a modern family home or multi-generational living space.
