Summary - 29 SHAY LANE HALIFAX HX3 6QX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Starter home with character and clear renovation upside.
910 sq ft mid-terrace with high ceilings and period features
A well-proportioned two-bedroom mid-terrace offering 910 sq ft of living space in Shay Lane, Halifax. The house combines period features — high ceilings and a fireplace — with a modern open-plan kitchen/diner and useful cellar storage. Gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002) keep running costs reasonable, while council tax is very low.
Outside, a paved and gravelled rear courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space that can take seating and planters. The property sits in a busy urban area close to schools (including outstanding and good-rated secondaries), local shops and transport links; mobile signal and broadband speeds are both strong.
There are important practical considerations: the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the glazing is older, so energy performance is moderate (EPC D). The property is in a very deprived neighbourhood with above-average crime levels, which may affect resale and rental appetite. Buyers should also note the plot is modest despite the described rear space.
This home suits a first-time buyer or small family seeking a characterful starter home with scope to improve insulation and energy efficiency. It also offers sensible renovation potential for someone wanting to add value — straightforward upgrades here could lift comfort and running costs.
