Maple Avenue, Bishopthorpe, YO23

This semi-detached house presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and personalise the space. The property offers flexible accommodation, with potential for reconfiguration and improvement to suit individual tastes. Previously utilized as a rental property, it is now in need of a modernisation programme. The home features a working gas-fired central heating boiler and a recently installed electrical consumer unit, with relevant documentation to be confirmed with the vendor. The existing layout includes a full-depth living room, an additional reception room within a single-storey rear extension, a kitchen with an adjoining dining area, two first-floor bedrooms, and a loft space accessed via a staircase. The former garage has been divided, retaining a garage/store to the front while creating additional dining space at the rear. This setup offers considerable scope for buyers looking to put their own stamp on the property, subject to necessary consents. Externally, the home is approached via a gated driveway leading to double timber doors that open into the garage store. A uPVC double-glazed entrance door opens into the hall, which leads into the kitchen, creating a practical ground-floor layout. The kitchen is fitted with oak-effect Shaker-style units and has space for essential appliances. The dining area features a window and external door to the rear, along with access to the garage store. The living room extends the full depth of the property and boasts an open fireplace as a traditional focal point. Double sliding doors lead into the rear extension, which opens onto an enclosed gravelled courtyard garden. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom fitted with essential amenities. The property also benefits from a lawned front garden and off-street parking via the gated driveway. The fully enclosed gravelled courtyard garden at the rear provides low-maintenance outdoor space bordered by fencing. This property is ideal for those seeking a project with significant potential.
