Description

Situated in the sought-after residential area of Acomb, this semi-detached property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and further development. Conveniently close to local amenities on Boroughbridge Road and Beckfield Lane, as well as reliable commuter links, it is set on a spacious plot offering significant potential for extensions, pending planning permissions. The property currently features a garage and has driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Inside, the entrance hall welcomes you to a bright reception room with a large bay window, enhancing the airy feel of the space. The kitchen diner has been updated by the current owners, showcasing stylish grey shaker-style units paired with dark worktops—ideal for immediate use while still allowing for personal customizations or upgrades. There’s ample space for additional appliances as well. The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms; the master includes original built-in storage, which adds character to the home. A well-maintained three-piece bathroom with an electric shower is also located upstairs. Outside, the rear garden is one of the standout features—currently laid out with lawn, patio areas, and several vegetable patches at the rear. This generous outdoor space not only invites relaxation but also opens avenues for landscaping or even further development depending on your vision. Given its size and configuration, it offers an oasis of privacy due to neighboring properties being set back. In conclusion, this property serves as a promising starter home or family residence with considerable scope for enhancement through renovation or extension. Early viewing is advisable to fully appreciate its potential.
