This compact two-double-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Rodley’s sought-after pocket. Period stone frontage, a bay-windowed lounge and a modern bathroom give the house character and ready-to-live-in elements while the cellar adds practical storage. At about 571 sq ft the layout suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting a manageable home close to green space.
Location is a clear strength: a few minutes’ walk to Rodley Nature Reserve, nearby canal paths and convenient road links for Farsley and Bramley. The neighbourhood provides good primary and secondary schooling options and fast broadband, making the property suitable for working professionals and small families who value outdoor access and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property’s modest footprint and lack of a private garden, which limits outdoor space. The stone external walls are likely uninsulated and the build predates 1900, so future buyers may wish to budget for upgrading insulation, windows (install dates unknown) or other energy-efficiency works. Services and appliances have not been tested — a buyer survey is recommended.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and a very low council tax band. Downsides to factor into costings are the small overall size, potential wall insulation work, and a local crime rate reported as above average. For someone seeking an affordable period home near green space with scope to personalise, this property represents clear entry-level value.
