Summary - 3 THOMAS EDMUND VILLA, SHAY LANE, BRADFORD, WILSDEN BD15 0DJ
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Victorian four-bed on extensive grounds with development potential, subject to planning..
0.705-acre plot; 0.56 acres used as garden
Set on approximately 0.705 acres with 0.56 acres of garden, this Victorian stone semi offers clear development interest alongside immediate family use. The site has a pre-application pack prepared proposing up to nine new homes; no planning permission has been granted and the land is currently greenbelt, so any development would require formal consent. The plot size and position—surrounded on three sides by open countryside—are the principal long-term value drivers.
The house itself is a traditional four-bedroom semi in need of modernisation: a new kitchen and bathroom are recommended and general refurbishment will be required to bring the interior up to current standards. Positive features already in place include a recently tanked cellar that is now dry and usable, a detached garage, multiple reception rooms and attractive period stone elevations that retain character.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home-working without alternative solutions, while mobile signal is excellent. The property is freehold with no flood risk, good commuter links to Bradford and Halifax, and a choice of well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Buyers should factor in planning uncertainty due to greenbelt status and the renovation budget needed to modernise the house.
This is a suited opportunity for an investor or developer able to manage a planning process, or for a family seeking a substantial country home they can remodel over time. The combination of sizable grounds, countryside setting and period charm gives scope for significant upside, provided the purchaser accepts the renovation workload and planning constraints.
