Summary - 142, STANLEY ROAD, WAKEFIELD WF1 4LS
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Practical two-bed flat near Wakefield city centre — suitable for first-time buyers or investors..
Top-floor two-bedroom flat with communal gardens
A top-floor two-bedroom flat on the fringe of Wakefield city centre, offering straightforward accommodation and communal gardens. The living room is bright with tall front windows and a feature fireplace; both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. The layout is practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate occupancy or modest updating.
The block is a mid-20th-century brick building accessed via a communal entrance with entry intercom and stairs to the top floor. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated; standard redecoration or kitchen/bathroom upgrades are likely to be needed depending on buyer standards. An EPC rating is awaited.
Practical strengths include useful built-in storage, communal managed gardens, gas cooker provision in the kitchen, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and easy walking distance to Wakefield city centre and transport links. Important lease details: leasehold with 88 years remaining and a ground rent of £10 per annum.
Be candid about location factors: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime — buyers should consider safety and local amenity impacts. Council tax is low (Band A), and the apartment’s size (approx. 689 sq ft) makes it an accessible purchase at the listed price, but the remaining lease term and updating needs are material considerations.
