A contemporary three-bedroom end terrace arranged over three floors, offered as a freehold with off-street parking for two cars and a low-maintenance rear garden. The house has been modernised with a fitted kitchen, newer windows and an EPC rating of C76, making it economical to run compared with older properties. Its position directly opposite Minsthorpe (Moorthorpe) train station suits commuters and those needing quick links to Pontefract and the A1.
Internally the layout works well for first-time buyers or young families: living room, kitchen/diner and ground-floor WC, two bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor, and a main bedroom in the converted loft with skylights and eaves storage. The overall footprint is modest (approx. 732 sq ft) so the rooms are of average size, and the garden is designed for low upkeep with artificial lawn and pebbled seating.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property sits in a deprived area with a recorded high local crime rate, and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of 1900–1929 builds) which could mean higher heating demands despite the EPC grade. The plot and internal space are small; there is limited scope to extend without planning. The house is presented in move-in condition but offers further potential for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic upgrading if desired.
Overall this is a well-located, affordable three-bedroom home that will suit first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience or investors targeting strong rental demand. A full internal inspection is recommended to assess finish levels and any retrofit work you may want to carry out.
