This compact one-bedroom apartment in Mulberry House places city living and rail links on your doorstep. The open-plan kitchen–living room opens onto a private balcony, and integrated appliances and laminate floors give the flat a modern, low-maintenance feel. The long lease (approx. 236 years remaining) is a practical positive for buyers who want security without immediate lease costs.
Be aware of significant running costs and local issues: the service charge is around £2,300 per year and there is a ground rent of approximately £250 per year. The local area records very high crime levels and sits within a deprived area classification; prospective buyers should consider safety and resale implications. Broadband speed is reported as very slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
Practical commuting is a genuine strength — the train station and city-centre amenities are within easy reach, making this a sensible pick for a single commuter or first-time buyer seeking affordable entry in Wakefield. The apartment may also appeal to investors looking for a low-price purchase, but they should factor in the high service charge and local crime statistics when assessing rental demand and yields.
