Summary - 38 ROOK LANE BRADFORD BD4 9NJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Auction opportunity for refurbishment or rental conversion close to Bradford centre.
Victorian mid-terrace Freehold with vacant possession
A Victorian mid-terrace offered at auction with vacant possession — a clear short-term opportunity for a cash buyer or small developer. The property is Freehold, arranged over two floors with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and small front garden. At around 633 sq ft it is an average-sized urban terrace with period stone elevations and some original features.
The house requires full modernisation: reports of external neglect, internal repair needs, and assumed uninsulated stone walls mean significant renovation costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are likely uninsulated; the property does have double glazing installed after 2002 and an EPC rating of D. Buyers should factor in the auction buyers’ fee and any seller completion fees detailed in the legal pack.
Location strengths include proximity to Bradford city centre transport hubs, local shops and Bowling Park. The house sits in a diverse urban area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but the neighbourhood records very high crime and very high area deprivation — these are material factors for future lettings or resale values.
This lot suits investors or experienced DIY buyers looking for a value-entry purchase at auction. With vacant possession, Freehold title and clear scope for refurbishment, the property offers potential to add value, but budgets must allow for structural, thermal upgrade and security improvements before re-letting or resale.
