This two-bedroom end-terrace cottage on Ouchthorpe Lane offers an affordable, freehold entry into Wakefield’s market. The house has two double bedrooms, a dining kitchen, living room, and a useful barrelled cellar, plus gas central heating and UPVC windows. A small, well-maintained cottage garden and side access add outdoor space to the compact plot.
The property is offered by Modern Method of Auction. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and buyer’s pack costs apply; the sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve. Prospective buyers should be prepared to complete checks and arrange finance within the auction timescales and to review the buyer information pack carefully.
Internally the home is basic and will suit a first-time buyer or investor willing to refresh the finishes. The footprint is small (about 521 sq ft) so accommodation is compact; light refurbishment would improve comfort and re-sale potential. Benefits include a corner-plot position, a garden, low council tax band and good local schools and transport links to Wakefield and Leeds.
Important negatives are clear: the property is sold at auction with buyer fees and an undisclosed reserve; the accommodation is modest in size and will require updating; buyers must complete their own surveys and checks. For a buyer seeking a low‑priced, freehold starter home or a straightforward rental opportunity, this offers solid potential once the auction costs and refurbishment needs are factored in.
