Tucked back from the road on College Grove Road, this extended four-bedroom detached period house offers generous, versatile living for a growing family. Arranged over two floors, the home includes a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining and sitting rooms, a garden room and a useful office/play room — flexible spaces that suit family life and home working.
The property sits behind gated access with a sweeping driveway and ample off-street parking. A large, low-maintenance rear garden with flagged terraces provides a private outdoor entertaining area. Bedroom one benefits from built-in storage and a concealed en-suite bathroom; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.
The house is solid and characterful but does need some updating in parts — notably the 1980s-style kitchen and some dated internal fittings. There is further potential to extend or redevelop subject to planning consent, which may appeal to buyers seeking to add value. EPC D63; mains gas central heating and double glazing are in place.
Location strengths and practical notes are mixed: the property is within walking distance of Wakefield city centre, schools and transport links, making commuting straightforward. However, the local area records very high crime levels and high deprivation indicators, and council tax is in an expensive band; these are important factors to weigh alongside the home’s size and development potential.
