Description

This detached bungalow features two bedrooms and is set on an expansive plot of 0.22 acres, presenting ample opportunity for modernization and personal improvement. The property boasts generous gardens to the east and includes additional structures such as a garage and outbuildings, which could enhance the potential for development or conversion. Located near the village of Thorpe on the Hill, it provides convenient access to Leeds city centre, approximately 4.5 miles away, as well as Wakefield at around 3.5 miles. The proximity to major motorways M62 and M1 further bolsters its appeal for commuters or those seeking easy travel options. Benefiting from its own private driveway and equipped with mains gas central heating, this bungalow offers a solid foundation for renovation projects. Additionally, investors should note the property is subject to an overage agreement that allows the seller to claim 30% of any value uplift due to planning permission or changes in use within a 25-year period from completion, adding another layer of investment potential.
