This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Silk Mill Bank offers an affordable entry into Leeds with a generous south-facing garden and bright, modern kitchen. At roughly 800 sq ft across two storeys, it suits first-time buyers or young families wanting outdoor space and convenient transport links into Leeds.
Built in the mid-20th century as a Wimpey No-Fines (non-standard) construction, the house has had external insulation added and double glazing. The interior is tidy and well-lit with a contemporary kitchen, but the non-standard construction means not all mortgage lenders will offer loans without specialist approval.
The plot is a standout feature — a decent-size rear garden that gives scope for outdoor living and possible extension subject to planning. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make daily life straightforward.
Buyers should weigh the positives against the local context: the area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime, and the property is compact with a single bathroom. For those who can manage mortgage restrictions on non-standard construction, this property represents strong value and practical potential.
