This two-bedroom detached home in Horbury offers solid bones and clear value for a buyer prepared to update. Set on a small corner plot, the house retains period character with a stone/brick exterior, decorative living-room fireplace and original proportions, while providing practical features such as a driveway, detached single garage and an enclosed rear garden.
The property will be sold by Modern Method of Auction so buyers should note there is an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee payable on completion. The home is freehold and has mains gas central heating, double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of E52. It currently requires modernisation and some improvement works to reach contemporary standards—this is reflected in the asking price and offers scope to add value.
Location is a strong selling point: Horbury town centre amenities and regular bus services are within walking distance, with Wakefield and the M1 easily accessible. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by, making the house suitable for a compact family home or a buy-to-let investor seeking rental demand.
Buyers should be aware of a few material negatives: the house needs renovation, cavity walls appear uninsulated (as built), some fixtures and finishes are dated, and local crime levels are above average. Interested parties are advised to view the legal pack and commission any surveys prior to bidding at auction.
