Summary - 138 OLD ROAD BRADFORD BD7 4ND
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Compact period cottage with garden and rental potential in Bradford.
Chain-free two-bedroom cottage, ideal for first-time buyers or investors
This compact two-bedroom cottage on Old Road is offered chain-free and suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking an affordable foothold in Bradford. The living space is modest but practical, with a lounge that benefits from dual aspect windows and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. A cellar provides extra storage and direct access to a genuinely generous rear garden — rare for properties of this size.
Built around 1900–1929, the mid-terrace property shows period character but will need some updating. Ceilings are low and room sizes are small; internal photos and description suggest cosmetic works and potential modernisation of finishes. The stone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, so improving insulation and heating efficiency should be considered.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, on-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Expected rental income is approximately £750–800pcm, and council tax is very low, supporting affordability. However, the area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate, which is a material consideration for owner-occupiers and landlords.
Overall this is a value-driven purchase: a small, period cottage with garden and conversion potential but clear maintenance and location trade-offs. It’s best for buyers wanting a low-price entry, rental investors targeting achievable yields, or those ready to carry modest renovation work to unlock further value.
