This one-bedroom apartment occupies the third floor of a converted stone mill in Bradford city centre, offered via the Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £35,000. The building retains industrial character — high ceilings, large windows and exposed brick — and the flat includes a compact fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The building’s exterior is low-maintenance and the flat benefits from small balconies and street-facing aspects close to shops and transport links.
The layout and finish make this suited to a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base or an investor targeting a low-entry buy-to-let. Practical positives include an EPC rating of C, double glazing and electric heating, and very low council tax (Band A). Local amenities are plentiful and there are two nearby train stations, which supports rental demand and commuter convenience.
Buyers should factor in the material constraints: the property is leasehold, sold at auction, and the building dates from before 1900 with traditional stone walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the area records very high crime and significant deprivation. Ground rent is currently £125 per year—check the lease length and service charge before bidding.
For those comfortable with auction purchase and potential minor refurbishment, this flat offers a low-cost route into Bradford city-centre property ownership or a potentially yieldable investment. If a buyer requires modern heating, fast broadband, or a low-crime neighbourhood, this property will need targeted upgrades or careful consideration.
