A compact Victorian mid-terrace in WF1 offered via the Modern Method of Auction — priced to reflect its renovation need. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits within easy reach of bus routes into Wakefield and Leeds, making it attractive to buy-to-let investors or contractors seeking a quick turnaround.
Internally the house requires significant refurbishment: dated kitchen, worn finishes and likely need for modern electrical and insulation upgrades (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated). Accommodation is small overall, with an entrance hall, living room, kitchen/diner, bathroom and upstairs room layout that the listing alternately describes as two or three bedrooms — buyers must verify exact bedroom count and measurements.
There are modest outside spaces: a small walled front garden and a rear lawned garden accessed via a side passage. Practical details favour a quick sale — mains gas central heating, double glazing of unknown age and very low council tax — but the area records higher crime levels, which may affect rental demand and insurance costs.
Sale is by auction: prospective buyers should note the undisclosed reserve, non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the sale price, minimum stated), additional buyer charges and a 56-day completion requirement. The buyer information pack must be reviewed and independent surveys commissioned before bidding.
