Extended living, easy commute and well-rated nearby schools for first-time buyers.
Detached three-bedroom house with extended open-plan kitchen/diner
This extended detached property in Durkar Rise offers a compact, well-presented starter home with practical commuter links. The ground floor features a bright lounge and an open-plan kitchen/diner created by the extension, giving useful additional living space for everyday family life. Off-street parking to the front and a low-maintenance rear garden make outdoor upkeep easy.
Internally the layout is traditional with three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The home is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing installed before 2002, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—practical for home working and study. Local schools rate well, and the M1 and Wakefield centre are within easy reach for commuters.
Notable limitations are the property’s overall small size (approximately 728 sq ft) and a single bathroom, which may feel tight for larger families. The glazing and some fittings date from before 2002 and could require updating over time. The plot is small and the house was built between 1976–1982, so buyers should allow for normal maintenance or modernisation where desired.
This home suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a convenient, low-maintenance base with scope to personalise. Early viewing recommended to appreciate the extended living space and practical commuter location.
