4 bed detached house for sale

The Orchard, Wrenthorpe, Wakefield, West Yorkshire WF2

Occupying a pleasant cul-de-sac position in the highly regarded village of Wrenthorpe, this detached family home offers flexible and well-proportioned accommodation, ideal for a variety of buyers.

The property can be configured as either a three-bedroom home with two reception rooms or a four-bedroom home with one reception room, providing versatility for growing families, multi-generational living or those requiring a dedicated home office.

A particular feature of the property is its attractive rear aspect, backing directly onto the local cricket field and enjoying an open outlook rarely found in modern residential developments. The accommodation includes a spacious living/dining room with direct access to the rear garden, a kitchen/breakfast room, an additional reception room/fourth bedroom, ground floor WC, three first-floor bedrooms, a dressing room (formerly a bedroom) and a contemporary shower room.
