Summary - 22, Woodcock Street WF1 5LG
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious period home for renovators seeking central Wakefield potential.
Excellent room sizes throughout, generous living and bedroom space
Requires full renovation and modernisation including kitchen and bathrooms
EPC F and likely poor wall insulation — energy upgrade advised
Garage present but reported non-accessible at time of writing
Small enclosed rear yard and front forecourt, modest plot size
Freehold tenure and low council tax banding
Located near train station, shops and good local schools
Area classified as deprived with very high local crime levels
This substantial three-bedroom Victorian terrace offers generous room proportions across two reception rooms and a large kitchen — ideal for a family looking for living space or an investor targeting rental yield. The plot includes a small front forecourt, enclosed rear yard and garage (reported currently inaccessible), providing useful outdoor space in a central Wakefield location close to shops and the train station.
The house is sold as a renovation project. Interiors are dated — a 1970s kitchen, linoleum floors and a wet room — so expect refurbishment costs to modernise services, improve energy efficiency (EPC F noted) and reconfigure layouts if desired. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so upgrading the heating and insulation will be key to reducing running costs.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus relatively low council tax. Drawbacks to weigh: the area sits within a deprived ward with very high local crime levels, and the garage access is currently unavailable. A survey is recommended to confirm structural, services and remediation costs before purchase.
For buyers who can manage renovation, this property represents clear potential: improving the energy rating and modernising finishes will unlock family comfort or stronger rental income in a well-connected Wakefield neighbourhood.
