This four-bedroom detached house on Ackworth Road offers a spacious, family-friendly layout in a popular Pontefract neighbourhood. Bright open-plan lounge and kitchen/dining room create flexible living space, while a generous front garden and sunny rear patio give room for children and outdoor entertaining. The property is offered chain free, making it suitable for buyers wanting a quicker move.
There is clear potential to modernise and extend (subject to planning) — the attached garage could be converted and internal layouts updated to create contemporary living. Practical benefits include multiple off-street parking spaces, good transport links to Wakefield and Leeds, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby.
Buyers should note the house needs renovation: some rooms appear dated and the living room shows signs of damp and textured wall finishes that will require attention. Heating is warm-air mains gas and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and efficiency. Planning permission would be required for any garage conversion or significant extension.
For a family seeking space, parking and scope to add value, this freehold home presents a practical canvas in an affluent, comfortable neighbourhood. It’s an opportunity to create a modern family home close to local amenities and good schools, with no onward chain to delay completion.
