This vacant three-bedroom end-through terrace offers an accessible entry to Bradford’s rental market or a compact family home with clear refurbishment upside. The layout includes an entrance hall, front lounge with bay window, dining kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. Heating is provided by a boiler and radiators and the windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
The property is modest in size (approximately 587 sq ft) with small front and rear gardens and sits in a densely built urban area close to local shops, bus routes and several primary and secondary schools. It will be sold at a traditional auction on 6th November 2025 — suitable for buyers able to proceed quickly.
Positive value drivers include vacant possession, freehold tenure, mains gas heating and local rental demand. However, the house is a straightforward refurbishment project: the interior needs modernisation, external areas are overgrown, the stone walls likely lack insulation, and the EPC rating is D. The surrounding neighbourhood shows high crime statistics and significant deprivation, which will affect lettings, resale values and mortgage availability for some buyers.
This property will appeal to investors or hands-on buyers wanting a low-cost purchase with scope to improve rental yield or create a comfortable starter home. Buyers should arrange surveys and local checks, and factor auction timelines and renovation costs into their budgets.
