Description

This generously sized detached bungalow in Pontefract presents a noteworthy opportunity for buyers interested in renovating or investing in a property with significant potential. Nestled on an expansive plot, the property is characterized by its vast gardens and ample outdoor space, making it perfect for those seeking privacy and room for future development, provided planning permission is obtained. The property features two garages—an attached one currently utilized as a workshop that holds great promise for transformation into additional living space, along with a secondary detached garage suited for parking or storage needs. The dual driveways enhance the property's layout flexibility, offering possibilities for reconfiguration or further building projects. Internally well-maintained yet in need of modernisation, the accommodation consists of three double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. There are separate lounge and dining spaces, alongside a kitchen equipped with an adjoining utility room. The family bathroom and separate WC add to the practicality of the layout, which boasts a spacious hallway enhancing the internal flow. The considerable size of the plot not only ensures a peaceful setting surrounded by gardens but also opens up options for extensions or new structures in the future. Conveniently located near major motorway links and close to Pontefract town centre, train stations, shops, and reputable local schools—including easy access to Ackworth private schools—this property offers both lifestyle benefits and investment potential. With no onward chain and vacant possession available, this bungalow stands out as a unique proposition for those looking to create their ideal home.
