Summary - THE COTTAGE, 5, HALIFAX ROAD, HUDDERSFIELD HD3 3AJ
2 bed 1 bath Character Property
Grade II listed section of a Victorian villa; listed status restricts alterations
A compact Grade II listed cottage tucked into a larger Victorian villa, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The property delivers generous room proportions and high ceilings across two double bedrooms, a well-proportioned living room and a bright dining kitchen — all arranged over two main floors with a useful cellared basement. Practical extras include two driveway parking spaces, a single garage and a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden.
This home will suit a buyer seeking character and immediate occupation rather than a project to extend: the listed status means alterations will be restricted and require consent. The kitchen and some internal finishes are traditional and dated, presenting straightforward potential to modernise rather than a full refurbishment. The basement provides substantial storage with good head height and a recently updated consumer unit (late 2023).
The property is leasehold (999 years from 1863) with a nominal ground rent of £5 per annum and affordable council tax. Practical considerations include slow local broadband, above-average local crime statistics and an area classification indicating higher deprivation — factors to weigh for commute, lifestyle and resale. M62 access and proximity to Huddersfield town centre and local schools make this a convenient choice for first-time buyers wanting character, parking and scope to add value.
In short: comfortable period living with parking and cellar storage, chain-free possession and straightforward modernisation potential — but limited by listed status, slow broadband and local area challenges.
