This red‑brick back‑to‑back terrace in Kirkstall is a practical, affordable option for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors. The house offers two double bedrooms, generous open‑plan living/kitchen/dining, and a full‑head‑height basement providing useful utility and storage space. A small gated yard faces the street; on‑street parking is available nearby.
The property is largely move‑in ready but shows signs of external wear—scaffolding and roof attention are noted—so expect immediate maintenance costs. The solid brick walls are typical of the era and likely uninsulated; upgrading thermal performance and windows could improve comfort and running costs. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; energy rating is D.
Layout flexibility is a strength: the basement adds functional floor area and there is realistic scope to create a third bedroom with reconfiguration. Rooms are average in proportion for a city terrace, and the plot is very small, so outdoor space is limited. Local amenities, transport links and nearby universities make this a practical city location for students, professionals or commuters.
Buyers should factor in the neighbourhood context: the area shows higher crime and area deprivation statistics, which may affect insurance and resale considerations. Council tax and purchase price are favourable, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership. Overall, the house offers clear value for a buyer willing to carry out modest repairs and targeted improvements.
