A compact mid-terrace built c.1900 offering clear renovation potential close to Wakefield city centre. The house has two bedrooms, a through reception and small rear garden, all arranged over two storeys with a cellar. Its solid-brick walls and period features provide character but also mean upgrading (insulation, modern finishes) will be needed to improve comfort and efficiency.
This property is for sale via the Modern Method of Auction and is offered with no onward chain — attractive if you want a relatively quick purchase. Note the buyer must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) plus a £300 pack fee; bidders should complete their own due diligence and allow up to 56 days to exchange after the draft contract is issued.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown), on-street parking and excellent mobile and fast broadband availability. The location is within walking distance of Wakefield city centre, local shops, and several well-rated schools, making it suitable for rental demand or an owner-occupier willing to modernise.
Be candid about local context: the area shows higher crime levels and wider neighbourhood deprivation, which can affect resale values and rental yields. Rooms and garden are small; plan for interior refurbishment and possible insulation upgrades. For investors or hands-on buyers, this provides a lower entry price with obvious scope to add value.
