Description
Offered at auction, this freehold two-bedroom mid-terraced house in Eccleshill is vacant and requires renovation throughout. The ground floor is arranged with an entrance porch, living room and kitchen, while two bedrooms and a bathroom are located upstairs. The property has double glazing, a front garden and a rear yard.
The house is on Rhodes Terrace, accessed from Idle Road, with shops, food outlets, parks and community facilities nearby around Bolton Road. Bus services and Bradford’s two railway stations provide public transport connections, and the A6176 links to the ring road and A658.
The sale is subject to a Council restriction requiring the buyer to bring the property to a habitable condition within 12 months. The restriction also prevents resale until it has been removed with the Council’s consent. Buyers should review the legal pack and auction terms, including the deposit, buyer’s fee and any additional special-condition costs, before bidding.

Confidence: LOW
At £55,000, this is a substantial Eccleshill renovation project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The visible living room and bedroom finishes are dated, the bathroom has damaged wall finishes, and the front garden is overgrown; the stone terrace frontage and roof slopes look broadly intact from ground level, though they need closer inspection. The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the work involved, and double glazing is already stated. The missing floor area means value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged.
There is scope to reshape and refresh the interiors, replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, and reclaim the front garden. The Council restriction requires the home to be made habitable within 12 months and prevents resale until the restriction is removed with the Council’s consent, so the project needs a realistic budget and programme. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the £55,000 guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated living and bedroom finishes to give the two-bedroom terrace a coherent, refreshed interior.
- Replace the kitchen’s dated cabinets and finishes and improve the bathroom, where wall finishes around the bath are damaged.
- Clear and improve the overgrown front garden and debris around the entrance, making better use of the terrace’s street frontage.
Key risks
- The £35,000–£65,000 works range and substantially dated visible rooms make this a major budget and programme commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
- The Council requires the property to be made habitable within 12 months and restricts resale until it consents to removal of the restriction.
- A bedroom ceiling crack is visible; the roof slopes and stonework also need closer inspection despite appearing broadly intact from ground level.
