This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Southwood Road is a compact, affordable entry into Leeds property ownership. Set on a decent plot with off-street parking and gardens to front and rear, it offers immediate practical benefits for first-time buyers who need space for a car and outdoor area.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a front lounge, rear kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms with a single bathroom. The property is modest in size (about 525 sq ft) and was built in the mid-20th century; double glazing is in place but installed before 2002 and the exterior is system-built with external insulation. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
Important considerations: the area has high crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. The house is priced to sell and suits buyers willing to accept a smaller footprint and a property that may require cosmetic updating and professional checks of services. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach.
Overall this home represents an affordable, freehold opportunity for someone buying their first home or an investor targeting lower entry prices. Viewers should arrange a full survey and service checks before committing, and be realistic about local neighbourhood challenges when weighing future plans.
