Description

Situated in the sought-after neighborhood of Rawcliffe, north of York, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is positioned on an expansive plot with significant renovation potential. The property benefits from convenient access to local amenities along Eastholme Drive and regular bus services to York City Centre and the train station. This creates a flexible opportunity for downsizers or families looking to customize their future home. With the right planning permissions, there's ample scope for extensions or reconfiguration. Inside, the spacious living room at the front welcomes plenty of natural light through a large picture window. The adjoining kitchen, equipped with various wall and base units, offers sufficient storage and workspace. The internal hall leads to three bedrooms, including a sizable master that overlooks the back garden. The second bedroom is currently utilized as a dining area but features patio doors that open into a bright conservatory, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. A functional shower room completes the ground floor layout, while an innovative staircase leads up from a former storage cupboard to a useful loft space. The exterior boasts an above-average plot size, providing driveway parking for several vehicles along with a front garden and an appealing rear garden designed for minimal upkeep. It includes lawned areas, patio spots, gravel sections, established flowerbeds, as well as practical features like a shed, greenhouse, and garage. Notably, the property backs onto Rawcliffe Lake with direct access via a rear gate to the scenic lakeside walkway. Given its size and location paired with competitive pricing, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity that merits early viewing.
