Description

This three-bedroom family residence is situated on a generous plot with significant potential for renovation and investment. Nestled in a desirable area of Wakefield, this property boasts a spacious rear garden, garage, and various possibilities for modernisation. The home features central heating and double-glazed windows, providing a solid base for further enhancements. Entering through the central hallway, you will find a light-filled living room with dual aspect windows that open up the space beautifully. The dining kitchen is notably large, equipped with ample cabinetry and traditional pantry storage, presenting an excellent opportunity for updating layout or appliances. Additional storage can be found in a small rear hallway storeroom. Upstairs, there are three reasonably proportioned bedrooms served by a modern shower room which could benefit from some aesthetic upgrades. The front garden is well-maintained while the expansive rear garden offers room for landscaping or even extending the footprint of the house (subject to planning permissions). Furthermore, the presence of local amenities, schools, and access to transport links add to its appeal as an investment opportunity. This property is classified as non-standard construction which may require careful consideration when approaching finance options but also represents a chance to create value through renovation.
