Set on the third floor in the heart of Wakefield, this compact one-bedroom flat suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central location and easy transport links. The apartment benefits from a very long lease (996 years), allocated off-street parking and secure communal entry with a sprinkler system.
The interior is an open-plan layout with a modern fitted kitchen, shower room and a double bedroom. The home is small with standard ceiling heights, so it works best for single occupants or couples, or as a rental with low maintenance requirements. EPC is D55 and heating is electric wall units.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, an affordable annual service charge (approx. £877.68) and very low council tax. Important cautions: the property sits in a very high crime, very deprived neighbourhood and the surrounding area has a mixed urban character — buyers should consider security and longer-term area regeneration when deciding.
Overall this is a value-conscious central apartment offering immediate occupation or rental-ready potential. Its central location, parking space and long lease are the main strengths; its small size and local area challenges are the primary drawbacks to weigh up.
