This freshly decorated three-bedroom mid-terrace on Harvey Street is aimed squarely at first‑time buyers seeking a move‑in ready starter home. The property is newly renovated, double glazed and heated by gas central heating, with an easily maintained rear garden and a powered garage — practical extras that reduce running costs and add usable storage or parking.
Internally the layout is traditional and compact across approximately 737 sq ft: two double bedrooms and one single, a single three‑piece bathroom, separate living and dining spaces and a fitted kitchen. The home’s small footprint and standard ceiling heights make it straightforward to manage and maintain; the accommodation is described as ready to occupy immediately with neutral decoration throughout.
Location delivers both conveniences and clear trade‑offs. The house sits in an urban, culturally mixed area of Wakefield with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good access to schools, shops and public transport. CounciI tax is very low, and there’s on‑street parking plus the garage. However the neighbourhood has a very high recorded crime rate and the wider locality is relatively deprived — factors buyers should weigh for safety and resale prospects.
This freehold, chain‑free property is a practical, low‑maintenance entry point onto the housing ladder. It suits buyers prioritising affordability, immediate occupancy and connectivity over generous internal space or a large plot. Buyers wanting more room, a larger garden, or a quieter, lower‑risk neighbourhood may prefer to look elsewhere.
