Freehold semi-detached with driveway and front and rear gardens
Asking price £130,000 – strong entry-level value

Possible plaster issues and older finishes throughout
Cavity walls likely uninsulated — energy upgrades may be needed
Area has high crime and very high deprivation; location risk to consider
Council tax band very low, favourable running costs
Set on Knowles Lane, this three-bedroom freehold semi offers a straightforward, affordable entry to Bradford homeownership. The layout provides a front reception room, long kitchen with rear access, three bedrooms and a separate WC — practical accommodation for a first home or rental unit.
Outside there’s an off-street driveway and front and rear gardens, giving useful outdoor space and potential to improve kerb appeal. The property is of mid-20th century construction with double glazing and gas central heating, currently liveable but showing signs of age and in need of modernization in places.
Notable positives are the price, freehold tenure and useful parking. However, the area scores high for deprivation and local crime is above average; buyers should factor this into location choice. Internally expect cosmetic works, possible plaster repairs and typical upgrading needs (kitchen, bathroom, decorating) rather than a turnkey home.
This house suits first-time buyers comfortable tackling a programme of improvements, or investors looking for a low-price-let with scope to add value. Practical viewers will want a survey to confirm fabric, insulation and services before committing.
