This two-bedroom terraced house located on Pontefract Road in Featherstone, Wakefield, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. The property’s key strengths are its location and accessibility. Featherstone offers a convenient base with nearby schools (Featherstone Purston Infant School, Featherstone Purston St Thomas Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior School, and The Featherstone Academy are all within a kilometer) and Featherstone train station only a short distance away, offering good links to the wider region.

The provided images reveal that the property requires some updating. Whilst habitable, the kitchen and bathroom appear dated, and a refresh could significantly improve the overall aesthetic appeal and potentially increase its value. While a modest paved rear yard is present, it’s not a substantial outdoor space. There are also several outbuildings at the rear of the property which could provide additional storage.

The listing price falls within the range of similar properties in the area, yet lacks detail regarding actual square footage. Comparables show properties in Featherstone ranging from £55,000 to £230,000, with significant variations in property size and style, making accurate per-square-foot comparison challenging. Therefore, a prospective buyer should factor in necessary improvements and compare it carefully to other properties that showcase equivalent space and condition in the local area before deciding on an appropriate offer. The lack of information concerning the actual square footage of the property in comparison to nearby properties, does not allow for a reasonable appraisal of price relative to size.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
