Guide price £170,000–£180,000 for a three-bedroom semi on Water Lane, offered freehold and ready for a buyer who can add value. The house includes a driveway, detached double garage and enclosed front and rear gardens — practical assets in this part of Pontefract. The plot is modest but private, with mature hedging and room to improve outdoor space.
Internally the layout is traditional: lounge, dining room, kitchen and sunroom on the ground floor, with two doubles and a single bedroom plus a family bathroom upstairs. The property dates from before 1900 and currently requires full modernisation: fixtures, finishes and some services will benefit from updating. Double glazing is in place (installed before 2002) and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators, but walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated.
This house will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out refurbishment. There’s clear potential to increase value through redecoration, kitchen/bathroom upgrades and garden tidying. Practical positives include low flood risk, cheap council tax, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for working from home or attracting tenants.
Important practical notes: the property is understood not to be registered at the Land Registry and is sold as needing modernisation. A buyer should budget for refurbishment costs and survey any structural or service issues before purchase.
