retro, remarkable & ready for revival! Situated on an exceptionally generous plot in the heart of South Elmsall, this substantial and highly unusual five bedroom detached residence presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a large-scale refurbishment project packed with potential. Set back from the road behind a sweeping driveway leading to a double garage, the property enjoys an impressive presence with extensive gardens and the rare addition of a potential separate detached one bedroom annex (subject to planning) tucked away within the grounds. Requiring full modernisation throughout, this expansive home offers enormous scope for reconfiguration, upgrading and transformation into a truly remarkable family residence with additional multi-generational living or income potential.

Approaching the property, the sweeping driveway leads to the double garage and steps rising to the entrance porch, itself an impressive space with ample room for storage and even a seating area to the far end. Sliding doors open into a generous reception room featuring a gas fire, which in turn flows through to an enormous L-shaped second living area. This striking space is undoubtedly one of the home's standout features, boasting a dramatic stone wall with recessed gas fire to one end, while the opposite side currently accommodates a full-sized snooker table with ease. Open access from the smaller reception room leads into the kitchen, which provides space for extensive cabinetry, plentiful worktop space and room for appliances. From here, a conservatory offers additional storage and seating space with direct access into the rear garden. An inner hallway leads to three ground floor bedrooms comprising one exceptionally large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes to two walls and an en-suite shower room complete with built-in sauna, alongside two further double bedrooms also benefiting from fitted wardrobes. These are served by a stylish contemporary shower room. To the first floor are two additional double bedrooms, ideal for growing families or flexible home working arrangements. Externally, the vast rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved seating area, there is excellent practicality for vehicles, caravans or future development possibilities. A pathway leads to the detached two-storey annex (subject to planning) positioned privately within the grounds, offering a spacious living room and good-sized kitchen to the ground floor, with a large double bedroom and en-suite shower room. Both the main house and annex require refurbishment, but together provide a hugely exciting opportunity to create a unique and versatile property unlike anything else currently available locally.
