Description

This two-bedroom bungalow is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Pontefract town centre, offering convenience with nearby schools, shops, and transport links. The property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and personalization, particularly with the recently approved planning permission that allows for an additional two bedrooms in the loft. Although initial work on this conversion has commenced, it remains incomplete, providing a blank canvas for potential buyers to tailor to their needs. The interior features a spacious living room enhanced by double glazed bay windows and French doors that invite natural light and provide access to the private rear garden. The dining room offers flexibility in use, currently serving as both a dining area and lounge with built-in storage. A modern kitchen is equipped with shaker-style cabinets and integral appliances while also providing direct access to the garden. Both bedrooms are well-sized with views of the respective gardens; the main bathroom includes essential amenities such as a bath with shower over, while a separate WC adds convenience for guests. There’s also a practical utility cupboard that houses laundry appliances. An asset of this property is the lower ground floor basement area which currently operates as an office and workshop but could easily be transformed into varied functional spaces like a games room or gym—subject to planning permissions. This space benefits from additional plumbing facilities and an external entry point from an outhouse. Outside, the property features off-street parking for two vehicles along with front and rear gardens. The secure rear garden is tiered with established plant life and includes a decked seating area that's perfect for outdoor relaxation. With its blend of existing comfort and significant renovation potential, this property stands out as an enticing investment opportunity or personal project in a desirable location.
