Linden Terrace, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 4AE

We are delighted to bring to the market this impressive and substantial three/four bedroom period semi-detached family home, ideally positioned on a highly sought-after residential street within easy walking distance of Pontefract town centre.

Dating from the late Victorian/early Edwardian period, this beautiful home offers an excellent combination of spacious and versatile accommodation alongside a wealth of original character features. High ceilings, decorative coving and ceiling roses, stained glass, original tiled floors, stripped pine doors and feature fireplaces can be found throughout the property.

Offering approximately 1,747 sq. ft. (162.3 sq. m.) of accommodation including the basement, the property provides considerably more space than first impressions might suggest.

The ground floor briefly comprises an impressive entrance hallway, spacious lounge with bay window and multi-fuel burner, substantial dining room, modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory and downstairs shower room. The basement provides two excellent storage rooms, a utility area and WC.
To the first floor are three/four bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom Three is accessed through Bedroom Two, creating an extremely versatile arrangement. The room could be utilised as an additional bedroom but would also make an excellent dressing room, nursery, home office or private sitting area to complement Bedroom Two.
Externally, the property benefits from gardens to both the front and rear, off-street parking and a detached garage accessed from Love Lane Terrace.
Offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a substantial period home within one of Pontefract's established residential locations.
