About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in WAKEFIELD, WF2 8UR. The property offers 57m² (614 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.
