Situated on Leeds Road in Newton Hill, this larger than average three-bedroom end terrace house presents a brilliant opportunity for those seeking a property with character, space, and significant potential. Offered for sale at offers over £190,000, this home is an ideal choice for first-time buyers, growing families, or investors looking to add value.
This is a solid Victorian property that really just requires a bit of modernisation to bring it into the 21st century. The bones of the house are amazing so changing the carpets, painting the woodwork, the odd bit of skimming, and some modern decor will turn this into a really lovely home.
The front door opens into a welcoming hallway complete with wood panelling. Off the hallway to the left is a great sized lounge with original coving - the high ceilings throughout the property really enhance the sense of space. The second reception room could serve a multitude of purposes, from a formal dining room perfect for hosting dinner parties, a dedicated home office, or a children's playroom. This flexibility is a significant advantage, catering to the diverse needs of modern family life.
The kitchen and utility, whilst functional, offer amazing potential for a buyer to put their own stamp on them, transforming them into a contemporary culinary space tailored to their tastes. With careful planning and a couple of RSJs this area could be combined with the second reception room to become the heart of the home, combining practicality with style.
A door from the second reception room leads down to the cellar which is perfect for storage and there is lots of space at the cellar head for coats and shoes so they won't clutter up the hallway.
Upstairs on the left at the front of the house you will find two bedrooms perfect for children's rooms, guest rooms, craft rooms, or working from home. The large master is a peaceful retreat situated down a corridor at the back of the house with a large walk-in cupboard which could potentially house a staircase if you wanted to develop the attic space. The house bathroom is larger than average with a separate shower and bath and presents an excellent opportunity for renovation to create a modern and luxurious space (there's definitely space for a roll-top bath!).
Externally, the property benefits from the invaluable addition of off-road parking, a highly desirable feature in this popular location, ensuring convenience and peace of mind for residents. You can also usually park outside the property on the main road. The outdoor space, complete with single garage, provides scope for a pleasant garden area for outdoor enjoyment.
This home is in a great spot on Leeds Road. There is a shop across the road, Newton Hill Community School is 5 minutes' walk, Outwood Grange Academy is 15 minutes' walk, and it's on the 110 bus route which takes you into Leeds in 40 minutes and Wakefield in 11 minutes. It's also conveniently located for access to both the M1 and the M62. There is also a hidden park in walking distance (Hedley's) if you have children or a dog.
This property truly represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial home with incredible potential. Its original features, high ceilings, two reception rooms, and off-road parking combine to create a compelling proposition. With a little vision and investment, this house could be transformed into a magnificent family home, perfectly blending period charm with contemporary living. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope and potential on offer.
