Entry-level three-bed with garden and parking — needs modernisation, great location.
Three bedrooms in mid-20th century semi-detached home
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Gildersome offers a rare entry-level purchase in a very affluent LS27 neighbourhood. The property sits on a long driveway with off-street parking and a private rear garden, and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband — practical for modern family living or home-working.
Internally the layout provides a spacious front lounge, dining area and kitchen to the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a single bathroom above. The house retains mid-20th century character but requires full modernisation throughout; cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed so buyers can personalise the finish and improve energy performance.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax banding, excellent mobile signal and good local schools and amenities. Notable drawbacks: the property needs renovation (including likely heating/electrics improvements), is relatively small at about 541 sq ft, and has only one bathroom. Suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking a renovation project in a well-connected suburb.
