An attractive four-bedroom detached home offered chain free and available in a sought-after Lofthouse location. The house retains original stone character and period features, set on a decent plot with a low-maintenance front garden, walled rear lawn and oversized garage plus driveway parking. Fast broadband and straightforward road links to Wakefield and Leeds suit modern life.
This property requires renovation and modernisation throughout, presenting a strong opportunity for someone to create a comfortable retirement home or a spacious family residence. The layout includes multiple reception rooms, basement spaces, a utility, and scope to reconfigure the first-floor rooms — with potential to form a master suite with dressing area. Mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a solid brick structure are useful practical foundations.
Buyers should note the property needs considerable updating: dated interiors, basement rooms that may require attention, and assumed lack of wall insulation in the solid brick construction. There is only one bathroom (four-piece) serving four bedrooms. These are material factors reflected in the renovation scope and budget planning.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation project close to good schools, local amenities and commuter routes, this home offers rarity (first time on market in over 50 years) and clear potential. Early viewing is recommended to assess the layout and scope before committing to works.
