Summary - Apartment 420 The Velvet Mill, Lilycroft Road, BRADFORD BD9 5BN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful investment in a restored Victorian mill, sold at auction with vacant possession.
Vacant studio with mezzanine bedroom and open-plan living
A compact studio apartment in the landmark Velvet Mill conversion, offered with vacant possession and clear investor appeal. The open-plan living area, mezzanine bedroom and tall industrial windows deliver strong character and rental potential in a restored Victorian mill.
The building offers heritage features — exposed brick, stone vaulted ceilings and high ceilings — plus secure gated courtyard and off-street parking. The flat has engineered timber floors, double glazing (post-2002) and a utility area, helping keep maintenance straightforward for a landlord.
Important considerations: the apartment is small (approx. 453 sq ft) and is leasehold with c.128 years remaining. It sits in a neighbourhood with high crime and very high deprivation indicators; this may affect tenant demand and insurance costs. The property is listed, which can restrict alterations and cause administrative complexity.
Practical points for investors: heating is electric storage (no communal gas), EPC D, council tax band A. The flat will be sold at auction and is offered vacant — suitable for a buy-to-let investor comfortable with auction purchase processes and with plans to manage location-related letting risks.
