This three-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house in Castleford town centre offers generous living space, period character and a detached garage — a strong canvas for a growing family. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms, bathroom plus separate WC, and front and rear gardens. Chain-free sale speeds up moving for buyers ready to refurbish.
The property retains original features such as gabled bay windows, stained-glass transom panels and high ceilings, which add character and curb appeal. The rear garden and sizeable garage (with power and lighting) are practical assets for storage, parking or a workshop. Good access to local shops, bus links and several well-rated schools makes this a convenient family location.
The house requires modernisation: finishes are dated and some updating of services, insulation and decoration will be needed. Walls are solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation; glazing install date is unknown. These works present both a cost and an opportunity to add value and improve energy performance.
Buyers should note the wider area has higher-than-average crime and sits within a deprived, blue-collar neighbourhood; that influences long-term rental demand and resale dynamics. The property is freehold, council tax is described as affordable, and there is no flooding risk — practical positives for purchasers willing to invest in refurbishment.
