Summary - Waterton Road WF2 8NA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three bedrooms with bright, well-proportioned rooms
This three-bedroom semi sits on an unusually large plot in WF2 and is offered chain free, giving a straightforward move for buyers stepping onto the ladder. The property benefits from a detached garage, plentiful off-road parking and front and rear gardens — space that will appeal to families and commuters who need room for vehicles, storage or future extensions (subject to planning).
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a large, well-equipped kitchen and a bright lounge on the ground floor, with three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The house has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, making it comfortable for everyday living. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs for a first household.
There are important factors to note: the area scores as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, and the property sits in a neighbourhood classed as hampered — buyers should consider local safety and community services. The walls are cavity as built with no insulation assumed, so there is potential for energy-efficiency improvement work (insulation, boiler check). The single bathroom may be limiting for larger households and any cosmetic or structural upgrades should be budgeted for.
Positioned for commuters, the home offers easy access to Wakefield centre and the M1, plus fast broadband and average mobile signal for working from home. Local schooling options range from outstanding to requires improvement, so families will want to review the nearest schools to match their priorities. Overall this is a practical, spacious starter home with scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
