Summary - 36, Balme Road BD19 4DJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable, low-maintenance flat with parking and quick M62 access.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, about 506 sq ft
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home or a straightforward buy-to-let in central Cleckheaton. The flat is light and deceptively roomy for its size, with an L-shaped living area, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and UPVC double glazing throughout.
Practical features include off-street parking, secure communal entrance with intercom and electric storage heating — useful for tenants or owners seeking minimal upkeep. The seller will include the first 12 months' lease charges, and the property is offered chain free for a quicker move.
There are important considerations: the property sits in an area with a very high crime rate and high flood risk, and it is in a very deprived ward. Service charges average £1,716 per year and the accommodation is relatively small at about 506 sq ft. The building was constructed 2003–2006 and uses electric heating only, which may affect running costs and appeal depending on buyer priorities.
For first-time buyers this apartment is an affordable entry point close to local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and fast M62 access. Investors should note the constrained rental market locally and weigh service charges, running costs and neighbourhood factors against rental income potential.
