This vacant three-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Almondbury’s village centre. Constructed circa 1924, the stone-built house retains period character and provides well-proportioned rooms across two floors and approximately 1,001 sq ft. It is sold chain free with a long 999-year lease and nominal ground rent, making it straightforward to purchase.
The house has practical features already in place — PVCu double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and a small cellar for storage. A generous rear garden is accessed via a side passage (shared with the neighbouring property), and street parking serves the terrace. Local shops, primary and secondary schools, and community amenities are all within easy walking distance.
The property requires a general programme of modernisation throughout: kitchens, bathrooms and internal finishes are dated and the Energy Performance Certificate is F. The area records higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation; these factors may influence insurance, lettings demand and resale values. Prospective buyers should factor refurbishment costs and local market conditions into offers.
For a first-time buyer or investor prepared to modernise, this home represents clear potential to add value. Vacant possession and long lease length reduce transaction friction, while the property’s location and traditional stone façade give it lasting appeal once updated.
