- One double bedroom, 527 sq ft across two storeys
- Freehold with no onward chain, ready to occupy
- Sunny, low-maintenance rear yard, very small plot

- Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — upgrade recommended
- Above-average local crime and very deprived wider area

- Council tax very cheap; no flood risk
A compact, ready-to-move-in one-bedroom end terrace in LS10, offered freehold and with no onward chain. The house occupies 527 sq ft across two storeys and presents spacious rooms for its size, a contemporary kitchen, double glazing and a sunny low-maintenance yard. For first-time buyers or investors it offers straightforward occupation or let potential close to motorways and local amenities.
The property is a period Victorian build with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and original form; upgrading thermal insulation and making targeted energy improvements would reduce running costs and improve comfort. The heating runs from a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the wider context: this part of LS10 is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels and hampered neighbourhood indicators. Local schools are mixed in performance, ranging from Good to Inadequate Ofsted reports. The plot is very small and there is limited outdoor space, which suits buyers seeking low-maintenance gardens rather than larger family grounds.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: a modest period home that’s usable immediately and carries clear short-term rental or owner-occupier appeal, but it will benefit from insulation and possible cosmetic updates to maximise comfort, energy efficiency and long-term value.
