Summary - Earl Street, Wakefield, West Yorkshire WF1 4LF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bed property with great transport access and clear refurbishment upside.
Chain-free, freehold Victorian terrace with 1,269 sq ft overall size
A chain-free, freehold Victorian terrace offering strong rental potential in central Wakefield. The property’s generous overall size (approx. 1,269 sq ft) and high ceilings give scope for comfortable layouts and clear value-add through modernization.
Location is a key asset: walking distance to Wakefield Kirkgate and bus stations, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a wide range of shops and services nearby. The rear yard is low-maintenance and secure, suitable for tenants or owners wanting outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
The house requires updating: internal fittings and decor are dated and would benefit from renovation to maximise rental income or resale value. The neighbourhood shows high crime levels and is in a very deprived area — factors that will affect marketing, lettings and insurance costs. Buyers should factor in security and refurbishment budgets.
Overall this two-bedroom terrace suits investors or first-time buyers prepared to carry out improvement work. Being chain-free and freehold simplifies purchase, but planning for higher-yield refurbishment and tenant management is recommended.
