This mid-terraced two-bedroom house on Temple Street has been recently refurbished and presents a ready-to-move-in starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The ground floor offers a generous living room, open-plan kitchen/diner, utility area and ground-floor WC, while upstairs are two bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a flexible second-floor space for an extra bedroom, office or storage.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden, mains gas central heating and double glazing. At 1,045 sq ft the property feels larger than many terraces in the area and benefits from an excellent location for local shops, transport links, Junction 32 and Castleford town centre.
Buyers should note some important limitations. The EPC is rated E and walls are solid brick with no known wall insulation, so further insulation works may be needed to cut bills and improve efficiency. The area is classified as deprived with higher local crime rates; that may affect family buyers or rental yields and insurance costs. A possible damp issue was flagged in the kitchen description and should be investigated in a survey.
This home will suit first-time buyers who want a low-upfront, mostly finished property to personalise, and investors seeking a straightforward rental in a commuter-friendly town. Factor in potential costs for energy-efficiency improvements and any remedial damp work when assessing the price and rental expectations.
