This extended four double‑bedroom semi‑detached period home sits in one of Wakefield’s most sought-after streets, offering spacious family accommodation across three storeys. The ground floor extension creates a generous open‑plan kitchen/living/dining area with underfloor heating and bifold doors to the garden, while a separate sitting and dining room retain the home’s original character and flexible layout for family life.
The kitchen is a particular selling point — an extensive workspace with a large island and built‑in appliances — complemented by a large boot/utility room with separate external access. Practical features include a driveway with space for four cars, a cellar for storage, and a largely low‑maintenance rear garden suited to entertaining and family use. Double glazing (installed post‑2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators provide modern comfort.
Buyers should note material facts: the property was built in the 1930s and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could affect running costs and may require upgrading. The immediate area is described as very affluent and family‑oriented, but local recorded crime levels are high; purchasers should satisfy themselves on neighbourhood safety and due diligence. Services and equipment have not been independently tested and a survey is recommended.
Overall, this is an attractive, characterful family home with flexible living space, strong curb appeal and good commuter links. It will suit growing families seeking generous rooms, period features and off‑street parking in a prestigious Wakefield neighbourhood, albeit with potential improvement works to optimise energy performance and security.
