Summary - 33-35, WESTFIELD GROVE, WAKEFIELD WF1 3RS
12 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious historic property with consented development and extensive outbuildings for versatile use.
Grade II listed detached period house c.1830, approx. 8,980 sq ft
A rare Grade II–listed estate dating to circa 1830, this substantial Wakefield property offers c.8,980 sq ft of principal accommodation across grand reception rooms, 12 bedrooms and extensive basement storage. The grounds include a separate five‑bedroom 1970s detached house, outbuildings, workshops and offices (c.1,300 sq ft), and full planning permission for an additional detached dwelling — strong potential for redevelopment or institutional conversion.
The house retains pronounced period character: high ceilings, sash windows, ornate fireplaces, a dramatic return staircase, formal dining space and cellars that include a wine room and former snooker room. Practical benefits include mains gas heating, double glazing (installed pre‑2002), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for hybrid working or business use.
Buyers should note material constraints. Listed status will constrain alterations and can add cost and delay; the solid brick walls likely lack insulation; services and appliances have not been tested and will require full professional surveys. Council tax is described as very expensive and the area records very high local crime — both relevant for residential or care‑use planning and insurance.
For purchasers with development intent or commercial experience, the plot size, existing outbuildings and consented plans make this a compelling redevelopment opportunity (care home, multi‑unit conversion or new build), subject to listed‑building approvals and detailed site surveys. Occupiers seeking a family home will find generous space and period detail, but should budget for conservation‑grade maintenance and upgrades.
