Large freehold lot with holiday-let and redevelopment potential, sold at auction.
Cluster of historic stone cottages in central Haworth
A cluster of historic stone cottages in the heart of Haworth village, offered as a single freehold lot. The site includes one two-bedroom cottage, two one-bedroom cottages and a single-storey studio to the rear, many currently let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies; number 8 is vacant. The buildings sit tucked behind the cobbled main street beside the church, well placed for the village’s tourism trade and local amenities.
The group offers clear income and development potential — short-term holiday lets, consolidation into a guest house or internal reconfiguration subject to consents. EPC rating C and mains gas central heating give reasonable energy performance; the substantial overall floor area (circa 2,699 sqft) presents scope for refurbishment and improved yields. Note the properties lie in the Haworth Conservation Area, so alterations will require appropriate permissions.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: broadband speeds are slow, crime statistics are above average for the area, and the surrounding area shows higher deprivation. Some building fabric (stone walls likely without insulation) and period features will require maintenance or upgrading. Tenancy details are incomplete in the available legal pack; prospective purchasers must make independent enquiries before bidding.
This lot will be sold under auction conditions with binding exchange at sale — a 10% deposit (min. £5,000) and a buyers’ fee apply. The auction has been postponed but the lot remains available and is expected to reappear at a future auction date; check legal documents carefully before bidding.
