The accommodation includes a large lounge, separate dining room, open-plan kitchen/dining with conservatory, utility, ground-floor WC and an integral garage with driveway parking. The rear garden is low-maintenance and enjoys far-reaching field views, offering safe outdoor space and a pleasant outlook.
Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002), gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C (74). The location provides convenient access to Wakefield city centre, good commuting links and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach, which suits families with school-age children.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house was constructed circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls that are likely uninsulated, and some windows pre-date modern glazing standards. Council tax sits in band E (above average), and local crime statistics are markedly high; prospective purchasers should check local safety measures. The property presents good scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating where desired.
Overall, this is a roomy family home in a convenient, semi-rural-feeling setting. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking generous living space, a helpful layout for family routines, and the potential to upgrade thermal performance and fittings over time.
