Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no upward chain and scope for modernisation. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a spacious lounge/dining room, and a kitchen with wall and base units, a gas cooker point, plumbing for a washing machine, a pantry and additional under-stairs storage. The kitchen also provides access to the rear garden.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room fitted with a shower cubicle, hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. The property has double-glazed windows and gas central heating. The roof is stated to have been replaced around 18 months ago.
Outside, there is a front garden and a side garden that may offer the possibility of off-road parking, subject to the necessary permissions. The rear garden includes two patio areas, a greenhouse and an outside water supply. The listing notes nearby public transport, local amenities, the local school catchment area and a short walk to Wakefield Westgate station. The property is presented as a renovation opportunity for buyers seeking to update it to their requirements.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This three-bedroom semi has a clear medium-scale improvement opportunity: the lounge needs substantial attention to its peeling walls and damaged ceiling area, while dated finishes and worn flooring elsewhere offer scope to refresh the home. The usable established garden, serviceable shower room and roof reportedly replaced around 18 months ago are helpful starting points, and the no-upward-chain sale adds convenience.
At £185,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The side garden may offer potential for off-road parking, subject to permissions and feasibility.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated kitchen and refresh finishes to give the home a more current feel.
- Improve the lounge and flooring, including investigating and addressing the visible ceiling damage.
- Make better use of the established garden, with possible side-garden parking subject to permissions and feasibility.
Key risks
- The cause and repair scope of the visible damaged/open ceiling area need checking.
