2 bed 2 bath Town House
Compact, low-maintenance home moments from Wakefield station and city amenities.
Two double bedrooms across three floors
Open-plan kitchen, living and dining with balcony
Allocated off-street parking for one vehicle
Freehold, new-build modern finish and EPC B83
Small plot with low-maintenance front garden
Very high local crime; consider security and insurance
Area classed as deprived; urban cultural mix nearby
Compact footprint—limited private outdoor space
This modern three-storey end-terrace offers compact, low-maintenance living across 722 sq ft, arranged as two double bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen-living-diner with a balcony. The property is freehold and presented with contemporary fittings, an en-suite, separate shower room, and an allocated off-street parking space—features that suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords seeking a city-centre base.
The location places you on the edge of Wakefield city centre with easy walking access to shops, cafés, bus and rail links (Wakefield Westgate) and motorway connections. The home benefits from an EPC B83 rating, gas central heating with combi boiler, UPVC double glazing and neutral modern finishes that reduce immediate maintenance and decorating needs.
Be aware the area records very high crime levels and is classed as deprived; buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations. External space is modest—the front garden is low-maintenance with pebbled planting and the plot is small—so this is not suitable for those seeking large private gardens. Parking is limited to one allocated space with additional on-street permit parking available.
An internal inspection is strongly recommended to assess layout and storage for daily living. Given the central location, contemporary condition and compact footprint, the house will appeal most to first-time buyers and investors prioritising transport links and low-upkeep accommodation over extensive outdoor space.
