A sixth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Mill Royd Mill offers affordable town-centre living with striking industrial character. Exposed brickwork, high ceilings and an open-plan living kitchen with a decked balcony create a roomy, loft-style feel suited to an urban single or investor seeking rental potential. The development includes leisure facilities — pool, jacuzzi, sauna and a modern gym — and comes with one allocated gated parking space.
Important financial and condition notes are straightforward: this sale is CASH BUYERS ONLY and chain-free. Service charges average £2,547 per year and the EPC is D (68); heating is electric with radiators. The building dates from the early 20th century and external walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone, which may affect running costs and future maintenance needs.
Location is a practical strength: Brighouse town centre amenities, rail and bus links (including direct links to larger cities) and M62 access are all within easy reach. Downsides to weigh are the high local crime levels, a high flood risk for the area, and an overall deprived neighbourhood classification — factors that may influence insurance, resale and tenant demand. The lease is long (977 years) and council tax is low (Band A), which supports long-term ownership or letting.
This property suits a cash buyer who values characterful, central accommodation and on-site leisure amenities, and who is comfortable managing the practicalities of an older conversion — insulation, running costs and the local environmental and safety risks. For an investor, the low purchase price and on-site facilities may be attractive, but factor in service charges, flood risk and local market conditions before proceeding.
