This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home on Whitegates Close offers comfortable family living on a sizeable plot in Wakefield. Internally the house has modern fixtures, two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a boarded loft for good storage. A private rear garden, decked and patio areas, plus a long block-paved driveway and garage give practical outdoor space and parking for several vehicles.
The property sits in a popular residential area close to highly regarded schools (including Wakefield Girls’ High and QEGS) and good road links to the M62 and local train services. There is clear scope to extend to the side subject to necessary planning consent — a strong opportunity for growing families wanting extra living space or to add value.
Practical points to note: the house is electrically heated with storage heaters and runs on mains electricity, which may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The construction dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and wall insulation is partial; buyers should allow for possible energy-efficiency or maintenance improvements. Local crime levels are above average for the area, and the immediate neighbourhood classification shows ageing urban communities.
Overall this is an attractive, compact family home in a convenient Wakefield location, best suited to buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in property with scope to adapt or extend. Buyers should verify all measurements, services and legal details during their own due diligence.
