A substantial four-bedroom detached house on Bar Lane, set well back from the road with a large rear garden and off-street parking for two cars. The house blends 1930s Tudor Revival character — bay and leaded windows, decorative timber framing and high ceilings — with large-scale modern additions including a heated indoor swimming pool and games/billiard room.
The ground floor layout suits family life and entertaining: dual reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast space, utility and downstairs WC, plus the pool suite with shower and adjoining games room. Twenty rooftop solar panels supply electricity, helping to offset running costs, and mains gas central heating serves the house via boiler and radiators.
The property offers strong potential but comes with practical considerations. The building dates from the 1930s and has solid brick walls (assumed no original cavity insulation), an EPC rating of D and Council Tax band E. The indoor pool and sizeable plot will increase maintenance and energy requirements despite the solar array; prospective buyers should budget for ongoing running and upkeep costs and for possible energy-efficiency improvements.
Location is a genuine strength: easy walking distance to Wakefield city centre, close to Pinderfields Hospital, excellent road links to the M1/M62 and well-regarded local schools including Queen Elizabeth Grammar and Wakefield Girls’ High. This house will appeal most to growing families who value space, character and leisure facilities, or buyers seeking a high-impact renovation/upgrade opportunity.
