A substantial three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Castleford offered CHAIN FREE and priced at £145,000. The property spans approximately 1,491 sq ft with a cellar, detached garage and small paved gardens front and rear — rare practical extras for a terraced plot. Recent double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The house requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed, walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick), and the layout would benefit from refurbishment. These realities create clear scope for capital uplift for a hands-on first-time buyer or investor prepared to manage works.
Location is convenient: close to shops, bus links and several well-rated schools, and within an urban neighbourhood of older terraces. The area is described as deprived with above-average crime rates, so buyers should factor local social and resale dynamics into plans. Flood risk is low.
Overall this is a value-led purchase with immediate possession possible. Buyers seeking a spacious family home or a renovation project with rental potential will find the building fabric and footprint attractive, but must budget for modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements.
