Summary - 22 ST JOHNS CHASE WAKEFIELD WF1 2QY
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact commuter-friendly flat with private parking and modern finishes.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with en-suite shower room
A compact, well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offering straightforward, low-maintenance living and a private off-street parking space. The layout includes an entrance hall, living room with breakfast bar into the kitchen, separate WC, bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a small external storage area. The property has double glazing and an EPC rated D67.
This home is convenient for Wakefield city centre, local shops, the train station and motorway links, making it a practical option for a commuter or someone downsizing. The accommodation is modern in style and ready to occupy with laminate flooring and fitted kitchen appliances in place.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the remaining lease term is 63 years (to 2025). Mortgage lenders commonly refuse lending on shorter leases; an extension estimate provided by the current owner is approximately £10,803 to add 90 years. The property is leasehold with an average service charge (~£1,500/year) and a small ground rent (£96/year).
Other practical points: heating is electric (room heaters rather than central heating), broadband speeds are fast, but the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived. A viewing is essential to assess suitability, especially given the lease position and lending implications.
