The listing price of £530,000 for a five-bedroom house in Altofts seems competitive but not outstandingly good value when comparing to similar nearby properties, given the missing sqft information. While some comparable houses are listed at higher prices, reflecting the desirability of the area and its proximity to good schools, the lack of precise sqft data and some needed modernisations mean the price isn’t exceptional value. The property is likely to attract buyers seeking family space and a large garden in this location.

The property shows signs of some wear and tear evident in the pictures. The decor is dated and would likely benefit from modernisation, although the structure appears to be sound. The kitchen and bathrooms show a need for updating, which is reflected in the score. While habitable, it’s not in pristine condition.

The property is located in Altofts, Normanton, a suburb of Wakefield. While not a central location, it benefits from proximity to several amenities including well-regarded schools (Martin Frobisher Infant School and Normanton All Saints Cofe Infant School both rated Outstanding) within a reasonable distance. The nearby Normanton train station provides convenient access to other areas. The presence of these positive aspects pushes the score higher despite potentially being outside the most desirable parts of Wakefield.

The property includes a sizable garden, which is a significant asset, particularly in a suburban setting. The images reveal a relatively large outdoor space that includes both paved areas and planted garden beds, providing room for relaxation and gardening activities. While exact dimensions are absent, the pictures suggest this is more than a small yard. The presence of a shed further indicates adequate outdoor space for storage.
