Property description
A rare opportunity to purchase the upper four floors of this imposing Georgian townhouse. Grade II listed and located in the conservation area of St. Johns Square. The property is currently divided into three apartments but could in our opinion be converted back into a single impressive home if required.
All three apartments are accessed via the original imposing hallway and central staircase. The ground floor apartment comprises a spacious living room, inner hallway, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The larger second floor apartment has a large living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The third apartment occupies the upper two floors of the building and comprises a hallway, lounge, dining kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. A further staircase leads to the useful attic rooms.
Ideally located for access into Wakefield town centre with all its amenities and within walking distance of Westgate train station for the commuter. Internal viewing is strongly recommended.
Please note the basement comprises a further apartment with its own separate entrance, which whilst in separate ownership may be available by separate negotiation.
