This deceptively spacious two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Thornes Lane is presented ready to move into or rent out, appealing to first-time buyers, investors and downsizers. The property combines period character — including high ceilings and a bay window — with practical modern fittings in the kitchen and bathroom. The layout includes two generous reception rooms, cellar storage and a private rear garden, providing flexible living and rental potential.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime levels and occupies a relatively small plot. The mid-terrace was originally built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no insulation assumed), so further thermal improvements may be desired. Services, fixtures and fittings have not been independently tested and should be checked during survey and conveyancing.
Priced at £150,000 and offered freehold, the home benefits from low Council Tax (Band A) and excellent transport links into Wakefield city centre. For investors the good local schools, nearby amenities and fast broadband/mobile signals support rental demand; first-time buyers will find a move-in-ready home with scope to add value through insulation and cosmetic updates.
