Summary - 27 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE, SHIPLEY BD18 2JX
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable three-bed terrace near Shipley station, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Three bedrooms in a compact mid-terrace layout
This compact three-bedroom mid-terrace on Shaftesbury Avenue offers straightforward, low-cost homeownership close to Shipley train station. The property has a modern kitchen and shower-room, double glazing, and an enclosed paved rear garden — practical basics that make the house move-in ready for buyers seeking an affordable starter home or rental asset.
Rooms are modest in scale across approximately 625 sq ft, with period features such as a Victorian fireplace and high skirting offering simple character and scope for cosmetic improvement. A generous cellar provides useful storage or conversion potential (subject to checks), and the paved garden and decking need little maintenance.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: heating is electric with room heaters rather than a gas central system, the stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the EPC is D. The property sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with very high local crime levels — factors that will affect living experience and resale/rental considerations. Prospective purchasers should commission a survey and factor potential upgrade costs (insulation, heating) into their budget.
For first-time buyers, this freehold terrace presents an affordable entry into the area with decent transport links and nearby schools. For investors, the low purchase price and strong local rental demand could deliver yield, but expect to budget for energy and security improvements to maximise appeal and compliance.
