Summary - 18 CASTLE GROVE PONTEFRACT WF8 1GW
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Practical two-bedroom investment with parking and long lease near Pontefract centre.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with en-suite to principal bedroom
This two-bedroom, second-floor apartment in Castle Grove presents a straightforward investment opportunity close to Pontefract town centre and rail/motorway links. The layout offers an open-plan kitchen/diner, a large lounge, double bedrooms and an en-suite off the principal bedroom — practical for letting to professionals or sharers.
The property is leasehold with 259 years remaining and a service charge of £1,800 per annum. Heating is electric throughout (wall heaters), which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes; the apartment is unfurnished and ready for a new owner to modernise or re-let promptly.
Externally there is one allocated off-street parking space and communal gardens, supporting tenant demand. Local amenities and several “Good” Ofsted-rated schools are nearby, but the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived — factors investors should weigh when setting rent or targeting tenants.
Overall, this is a practical, average-sized apartment for an investor seeking a low-management, buy-to-let in a well-connected Pontefract location. It will suit buyers prepared to accept electric heating and the area’s socioeconomic profile or to carry out modest upgrades to improve rental appeal and yield.
