This Victorian mid-terrace presents a compact two-bedroom home with genuine scope to add value through modernisation. The layout includes a spacious front living room, rear kitchen, and useful dry cellar rooms with power and lighting — practical extras for storage or conversion subject to checks.
Positioned close to local shops, bus routes and Wakefield Westgate station, the house suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into the area. The property is offered chain free on freehold tenure and benefits from double glazing, a low-maintenance paved rear yard and very low council tax band A.
Important practical points: the house requires updating throughout — kitchen and bathroom fittings are dated and internal decoration will be needed. The EPC is F35, so heating and insulation improvements are likely to be required to reduce running costs. On-street parking is available only on a first-come, first-served basis and the area records higher-than-average crime levels, which should be considered when budgeting for security or insurance.
A sensible purchase for someone prepared to carry out renovation work: modernising the kitchen and bathroom, improving energy efficiency and refreshing finishes should significantly enhance comfort and resale or rental value. Internal viewing is recommended to assess scope and costs accurately.
