Large rear garden and excellent transport links ideal for first-time buyers.
No onward chain — ready for a quick sale
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Selby Street is offered with no onward chain and a notably large rear garden — a rare outdoor space in this area. The property has two reception rooms, a compact contemporary kitchen and a small conservatory, giving flexible living space for a first purchase or rental. The house totals about 915 sq ft and sits on a decent plot with potential for garden-focused improvements.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, good transport connections to motorway, bus and rail links, and local schools rated Good nearby. The brick-built house retains solid structure and double glazing (installation date unknown). Council tax is inexpensive, which helps running costs, and the property is freehold.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks. There is currently no central heating system installed — electric heaters are assumed and a new heating/hot-water installation will be required. The area records high crime and is classified as very deprived; this will affect resale and rental demand and should be considered when budgeting. Some upkeep and modernisation are likely needed upstairs and externally, despite a generally sound brick build.
This home is suited to first-time buyers looking for a reasonably priced entry into WF1, or investors seeking a renovation project with good letting potential given transport links and local amenities. The large garden and no-chain sale are clear value drivers, but factor in heating installation and local-area considerations when deciding to view.
