Freehold tenure; mains gas boiler with radiators in place

Double glazing present (installation date unknown); walls likely uninsulated
This extended four-bedroom semi-detached house on Hope Avenue offers a compact, affordable family home or renovation project close to Shipley transport links. The layout includes a rear extension with an additional bedroom and a wet room, plus a ground-floor WC, giving flexible living for multi-generational use or rental conversion. The property is freehold and priced to reflect work required.
The house has traditional stone walls and double glazing (install date unknown) with mains gas boiler and radiators. Internal finishes are dated and the property requires renovation, so buyers should budget for cosmetic and likely fabric upgrades (possible wall insulation needed, electrical/plumbing checks advised). The small paved rear garden is low-maintenance but offers limited outdoor space.
Location is a clear strength for connectivity — a short walk to Shipley station and local shops, and near several primary and secondary schools. However, the immediate neighbourhood faces significant economic and safety challenges: area deprivation is very high and local crime levels are very high, which will affect long-term appeal and lettability. A physical inspection is recommended to confirm condition and service details before proceeding.
For investors or practical owner-occupiers the house represents a low-entry purchase with scope to add value through updating and reconfiguration; for families seeking a move-in-ready home, the property will require investment to modernise and improve energy performance.
