An affordable, compact investment in central Bradford, this two-storey terraced home has been freshly redecorated and carpeted and is offered with immediate possession. The property has a proven rental history and is suited to a buy-to-let portfolio or a first purchase for someone happy with modest living space. The freehold tenure and chain-free sale simplify purchase logistics.
Constructed in the late 19th century from stone, the house retains period character externally and has double glazing. Heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Internal space is limited (approximately 646 sq ft) with a traditional front-to-back terraced layout and likely only a very small yard or no private rear garden due to the back-to-back form.
Location benefits include close proximity to local shops, an Asda supermarket and straightforward access to Bradford city centre; mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong. Council tax costs are described as very low, which supports rental yield and owner affordability.
Notable concerns are the local context: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which will affect tenant demand and resale value. The building fabric likely lacks wall insulation (stone walls as built), and the glazing install date is unknown. The property is best positioned for investors seeking an easy-to-manage rental or buyers prepared to accept modest space and a higher-needs area.
