A compact end-terrace cottage offered freehold via the Modern Method of Auction — ideal for cash buyers or investors seeking a low-entry project. The property already benefits from several recent works: replacement windows, patio doors, roof repairs, replastering, decoration and a fitted kitchen. A basement conversion has been prepped and signed off by building control to create a dining kitchen, so much of the heavy compliance work is done; the final fit-out is required to unlock the additional living space.
Internally the layout is traditional and small: two bedrooms, a modern shower room and ground-floor living. Total floorspace is modest at around 517 sq ft, so this will suit a single occupant, couple or rental tenant rather than a family needing extensive room. Council tax is very low, and local transport links make commuting to Bradford city centre straightforward.
Buyers should be aware of the clear drawbacks: the property sits in a deprived area with higher local crime levels, and the plot and house are small. Works remain to complete the basement and some remedial finishing. The sale is by auction with a starting bid, reservation fee and an undisclosed reserve — buyers must factor auction terms and potential additional fees into their budget.
For an investor or hands-on buyer seeking a low-cost entry into Bradford property, this cottage offers immediate scope: finish the basement, complete final renovations and either rent or sell on for uplift. For first-time buyers wanting long-term homeownership, the size and local area characteristics should be weighed against the purchase route and renovation requirements.
