Description

This generously sized detached bungalow presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike, located in the desirable area of Pontefract. Set on a substantial plot with expansive gardens, the property offers ample potential for privacy, extensions, or even redevelopment (subject to necessary planning permissions). Included are two garages: an attached one, currently serving as a workshop with great potential for conversion into additional living quarters, and a second detached garage perfect for storage or parking needs. The dual driveways provide flexibility for alterations or new construction projects. Although the interior has been well-kept over the years, it is now due for modernization to meet contemporary standards. Inside, you will find three spacious double bedrooms—one featuring an en-suite—a separate lounge and dining area, a sizeable kitchen with an adjoining utility room, as well as a family bathroom and WC. The layout affords generous internal space that can be reconfigured to suit modern lifestyles. The property's impressive size and surrounding greenery make it particularly appealing for those seeking a tranquil retreat while being conveniently close to local amenities including schools, shops, and transport links. Offered with no onward chain, this bungalow is truly a rare find in such a coveted location. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate its size, setting, and considerable investment potential.
