Property Oracle says ..
Rose Farm is a detached property situated in Walton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The property benefits from a desirable location, being within a short distance of good schools and transport links. Walton Primary Academy, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is less than a kilometre away, and several other well-regarded schools are within a 3km radius. Train stations including Sandal And Agbrigg, Wakefield Kirkgate, and Wakefield Westgate are all within reasonable commuting distance.
The property itself appears to be in excellent condition. The images show a well-maintained and tastefully renovated home, blending modern conveniences with period features. The kitchen is particularly striking, featuring modern appliances and a stylish design. The property showcases exposed beams and stonework, characteristic of period properties, suggesting a traditional style that has been sympathetically updated. The gardens are also beautifully landscaped and well-maintained, adding to the overall appeal.
The plot size is not specified. However, the images clearly show a substantial garden area, suggesting a generous amount of outdoor space. The presence of a detached garage also adds to the property’s appeal.
Considering the average house price in the area is £368,159 and the average price per square foot is £307, the asking price of £1,250,000 for this 2,498 sqft property seems high. However, the property’s superior condition, attractive period features, and significant garden space justify a premium. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, though data on their square footage is limited, making a precise comparison challenging. The presence of features such as the extensive garden and the detached garage further contribute to the property’s value.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
