Description

This charming period terraced cottage is located in the desirable hamlet of Moortop, nestled within the picturesque semi-rural village of New Farnley. With excellent access to both Leeds and Bradford city centres, as well as convenient links to the Ring Road and motorway networks, this property offers a prime location for both commuting and leisure. Offered with no onward chain, the home is in need of modernisation, presenting a fantastic opportunity for those looking to add their personal touch. The ground floor features an entrance hallway leading down to a spacious yet cosy lounge, complemented by a separate dining room and a breakfast kitchen equipped with a good range of wall and base units. Additionally, the rear hallway serves as a utility/boot room, along with a convenient ground floor w.c. On the upper level, you'll find a landing area with a walk-in cupboard. The main bedroom is generously sized and was previously two separate bedrooms, making it possible to split it again if desired, as it boasts two windows facing the front. A second bedroom overlooks the rear garden, while the house bathroom includes a four-piece suite featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, low flush w.c., and wash hand basin. Outside, the property is surrounded by delightful cottage-style gardens both at the front and rear, along with a garage. The village offers good local amenities including primary and secondary schools, a Co-op, a cricket club, and a community centre, making this home an appealing choice for families. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential this property holds.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming period terraced cottage in Moortop, New Farnley, offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with character. While the asking price of £350,000 translates to £286/sqf, which is notably above the local average of £228/sqf, the property is offered with no onward chain, simplifying the purchasing process.

The interior requires significant modernization, with all spaces including the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom showing signs of dated condition. The renovation range of £40,000–£80,000 adds an additional layer of investment to consider, leading to all-in costs that may feel stretched compared to local benchmarks. However, the potential to enhance this home and create a desirable living space in a good location with access to amenities remains an attractive proposition for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • The spacious main bedroom could be split into two rooms, increasing bedroom count and potential value.
  • The property features delightful cottage-style gardens, providing an opportunity to create an inviting outdoor space.
  • With a separate dining room and breakfast kitchen, there is potential to reconfigure the layout for modern living.

Key risks

  • The all-in costs of £410,000, including the potential renovation range, are significantly above local average values, which may impact resale potential.
