This spacious 980 sq ft Victorian mid-terrace offers an accessible entry into homeownership in Wakefield. The house features two double bedrooms, a large kitchen-diner and an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden — practical for first-time buyers wanting usable living space and outdoor privacy without large grounds to maintain.
The property is freehold, gas‑central heated with double glazing reported, and sits in a very convenient location close to schools, supermarkets and motorway links — good for commuters and families. Council tax is very cheap, and local broadband and mobile signal are strong, which supports working from home and streaming.
There are important considerations to note. The terrace is traditionally built (solid brick) and likely lacks cavity insulation, so prospective buyers should budget for insulation or energy improvements. The area shows higher crime levels and greater deprivation, which may affect insurance and resale expectations. The plot is small and rooms are described as modest in size, so those wanting larger gardens or generous room proportions should take that into account.
A straightforward, characterful starter home with clear potential: move in as-is or invest in targeted upgrades (insulation, cosmetic refresh) to improve comfort and long-term value. A buyer survey is recommended to verify services and identify any structural or service works before purchase.
