A substantial Victorian mid-terrace offering significant floor area across basement, two main floors and an attic level. The house is freehold, equipped with mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazing, and sits close to Greenhead Park and M62 links for Leeds and Manchester.
The property is in need of wholesale modernisation but shows clear potential for value uplift: large kitchen-diner, cellar/utility space and an adaptable second-floor room that could be formalised as an extra bedroom or home office (subject to permissions). The combination of generous internal square footage (approx. 1,506–1,759 sq ft reported) and period features such as cast-iron fireplaces give scope for a sympathetic refurbishment.
Be candid about the negatives: the house is in a very deprived neighbourhood with a high local crime rate, the external stone walls are likely uninsulated and the property requires a programme of updating throughout. The plot is modest and gardens are low-maintenance, so outdoor space is limited. Buyers should budget for structural, refurbishment and possible insulation works.
This will suit an investor or buyer comfortable with renovation — either to refurbish for resale/renting or to create a comfortable family home with improved energy performance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are positive for lettability or remote working once works are complete.
