This Victorian end-of-terrace on Hatfeild Street offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The property keeps much period character — original fireplaces and solid brick walls — and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a low-maintenance rear garden. The generous cellar presents scope for extra living or storage subject to the usual consents.
The house requires modernisation throughout: fittings and finishes are dated and some rooms appear in need of updating. The solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades. Despite this, the 779 sq ft layout with two double bedrooms and a dining kitchen offers clear potential to add value by refurbishment.
Location is a major practical plus: central Wakefield position within walking distance of Kirkgate train station, bus station and Trinity Walk shopping centre. Local schools range from good to independent; broadband and mobile signal are strong. Be aware the wider area records very high crime and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term rental yields and resale timing.
Offered freehold and with no onward chain, this is a pragmatic purchase for someone wanting an entry-level home in the city centre or a renovation project for rental or resale. The small rear garden and cheap council tax band A are useful everyday benefits, but factor in modernisation, potential insulation work and local area issues when assessing value.
