A compact Victorian mid-terrace in central Pontefract, this two-bedroom house offers an affordable entry into the local market or a straightforward rental investment. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned for its size, with a living room, a kitchen/diner and an enclosed rear lawn — practical for everyday living. Double glazing and a modern kitchen reduce immediate heavy expenditure, while an EPC rating of D (62) keeps running costs reasonable.
The property sits within walking distance of shops, schools, bus and rail links, and has easy M62 access for commuters. On-street permit parking serves the home; the rear garden is small and fully enclosed — low maintenance and suitable for a buyer seeking simplicity rather than a large outdoor space. Council Tax Band A helps keep monthly costs lower.
Important negatives are factual and should influence buying decisions: the area records higher crime and very high deprivation indices, and the terraced walls are solid brick with no installed cavity insulation, which may mean future retrofit work to improve thermal performance. The house is small (approx. 517 sq ft) and will suit couples, first-time buyers or investors rather than families needing extra space.
Overall this house appeals to those seeking a centrally located, low‑entry-price property with clear scope for incremental improvement or rental use. Viewings and an internal inspection will best reveal how the space meets personal needs.
