The home, in the agent’s words

Read the full agent description

Situated in a sought-after part of Acomb and ideally placed for the shops and amenities along Boroughbridge Road and Beckfield Lane, this well-kept semi-detached home offers convenience, space and excellent potential. Set on an unusually generous plot, the property provides scope for future extension or development \(subject to the usual planning consents\) and already benefits from a detached garage. It represents an ideal choice for first-time buyers or growing families, and viewings are strongly advised. The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading into a bright front reception room, enhanced by a large bay window that floods the space with natural light. To the rear sits a modernised kitchen diner, thoughtfully updated by the current owners to maximise storage and functionality. Finished with attractive grey shaker-style units and contrasting worktops, the kitchen is ready for immediate use and includes some integrated appliances, with further space for additional white goods if required. To the first floor are two comfortable double bedrooms, including a main bedroom featuring original built-in storage. A well-presented bathroom with a three-piece suite and electric shower completes the internal layout. Externally, the property offers driveway parking for multiple vehicles, with a lawned frontage that could be adapted to create even more off-street parking if desired. A lean-to at the side provides covered access to the single garage, which benefits from power. The rear garden is a real highlight, larger than average with lawn and a patio seating area and established vegetable beds at the far end. A superb home with fantastic outdoor space and great future potential, early viewing is recommended. Council Tax Band: B
