Wakefield remains an extremely popular location for a wide range of buyers, particularly first time purchasers, small families and professional couples, thanks to its excellent range of shops, schools and amenities, many of which are within walking distance, including those found within the city centre itself.
Regular local bus routes operate nearby, whilst Wakefield also benefits from its own bus station and two railway stations offering excellent commuter links to Leeds, Manchester and London.
The property is also conveniently positioned for access to both the M1 motorway and M62 motorway motorway networks for those wishing to travel further afield.
