Sycamore Road
Birstall

Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years and with the advantage of no upward chain, this charming three-bedroom townhouse is perfectly situated on a quiet residential road in the heart of Birstall. Having been lovingly maintained by its long-term owners, the property now offers a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer to modernise and create their ideal home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer eager to step onto the property ladder, an investor seeking a valuable addition to a buy-to-let portfolio, or a family in search of a welcoming and versatile home, this property holds vast potential. The home is thoughtfully arranged across two floors and boasts the convenience of off-road parking for one vehicle, as well as energy-efficient solar panels that provide both environmental benefits and reduced energy costs.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway that sets the tone for the property. The front of the house features a well-proportioned principal reception room, an inviting space highlighted by a central fireplace that creates a cosy focal point. A large, double-glazed bay window allows natural light to pour in, enhancing the sense of warmth and space. Towards the rear, an extended open-plan breakfast kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Well-equipped with an integrated oven, a four-ring gas hob, and ample storage in the form of both eye-level and base units, the kitchen also offers generous workspace for meal preparation. The room provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, and its open-plan design makes it ideal for casual dining and entertaining. Doors from the kitchen lead to a side passage, which opens onto a delightful and surprisingly large rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a well-designed three-piece wet room, adding practicality to the layout.

Upstairs, a spacious landing opens to three double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are generously sized doubles, both fitted with built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom, currently arranged as a single, is versatile in its use and can comfortably accommodate a double bed and additional furniture. A three-piece family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation. Further enhancing the property’s appeal is the insulated and boarded loft space, which provides potential for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. While the current owners have not explored this option, it presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking additional living space or storage.

To the rear, an extensive and beautifully maintained rear-garden. Mainly laid-to-lawn, the garden is split into two sections and is established with mature shrubbery, fruit trees and provides immediate privacy from neighbouring properties.

This home is a rare find within its price range and location, situated in a sought-after suburb where properties are always in high demand. With its combination of character, potential, and prime location, early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.
