Buyers should note this is a probate sale and timescales can vary. The property dates from the 1950s–60s and has cavity walls with no fitted insulation (assumed). The main fuel is recorded as house coal with a boiler and radiators — this may mean updating or conversion to a modern fuel source and a survey is recommended.
Location is a clear strength: quiet suburban street in a comfortable, affluent area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime, close to shops, bus routes and Outwood train station. Strong local schools nearby add appeal for those considering future resale or part-time family use.
