This mid-terrace Victorian house offers an affordable first step onto the property ladder in central Wakefield. Arranged over three levels, the layout includes a living room, modern kitchen/diner, two first-floor bedrooms and a useful attic room with Velux lights — ideal as a home office or occasional bedroom. The property is offered chain free and has had recent redecoration and new carpets throughout.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a contemporary bathroom fitted with a shower over the bath. Outside there is a small forecourt and an enclosed rear paved garden, plus on-street resident parking. The 722 sq ft footprint makes for compact, manageable living close to Agbrigg high street, local shops, bus routes and Agbrigg train station.
Be aware of local context and fabric issues: the area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime rates are very high, which may affect resale or rental demand. The property’s solid-brick walls likely have little or no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for any thermal upgrades. On-street parking only and a small plot limit outdoor space options.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost freehold for a buyer who values transport links and local amenities, or an investor seeking a compact rental in a convenient location. Essential viewing recommended to assess condition and suitability for intended use.
