House For Sale £139,950
Looking for an investment project, near some awe-inspiring film locations? You may have just found it with this 3-bedroom semi-detached in Bingley, which sits on the outskirts of Bradford. The city is famous as a popular location for filming period dramas, and it’s no wonder why; with plenty of important historical buildings and beautiful Yorkshire moorland, Bradford and its surrounding towns are a real gem of the North.
The property is in need of refurbishment, however with the right touch, it could increase in value to £190,000 at time of writing. There are a number of features that show how cosy the property could be, including its neat facade, fireplaces and built-in storage space.
The property is a freehold, so you have full agency to do what you like with it. Its return as a rental would be £750pcm, and once up to standard it would suit a small family looking to make the most out of the region.
Location and Transport Links
The property is in the area of Bingley on the outskirts of the city of Bradford. This makes local travel really easy, as it’s only a 4 mile drive to Bradford city centre and there are a number of bus stops a short walk from the property.
It’s 1.5 miles to the Bingley train station from which regular services take you to Leeds, Carlisle and Lancaster.
Nearby Amenities
You might think of Los Angeles as the home of cinema, but actually Bradford is the world’s first unesco City of Film and the area has been used for filming since the First World War. Naturally, there are many cinemas in the city, lots of film societies and clubs, and plenty of filming locations so you can act out your favourite scenes from the King’s Speech or Downton Abbey. Film and TV aren’t the only culture you’ll find however, as Bradford is home to plenty of museums, galleries and theatres as well. Foodies will be equally at home, as it’s also known as the Curry Capital of Britain, with over 200 Asian restaurants.
The property is in Bingley, on Bradford’s outskirts, which has been a market town since the 13th century. It still has its historic charm, holding markets twice a week in the town centre, and being renowned for its famous Five Rise Locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
For day-to-day lifestyle demands however, the property sits approximately 5 minutes walk from a Nuffield Leisure Centre, with a basketball court and skatepark. It’s a 6 minute walk to Cottingley Park and 1.5 miles to the nearest swimming pool. You can also benefit from the two golf clubs within 5 miles of the property.
Near the train station (1.5 miles away) is the thriving local high street and town centre, which is where you can find a Sainsbury’s Local, new Aldi and Lidl. In the same area you’ve also got Bingley Dental Centre, Bingley Medical Practice, and a number of opticians as well as many independent shops, restaurants and cafes. For essentials, there is a local shop 10 mins walk away.
There are two secondary schools nearby, Beckfoot School (rated Good by Ofsted) and Dixons Cottingley Academy (yet to be rated). The closest primary school is Cottingley Village Primary, which is also rated Good.
Central Heating
Gas central heating, double glazing, EPC rating is D with potential for B.
Room by Room
The property is a semi-detached, three-bedroomed house, with drive and garage, in need of refurbishment. Two of the bedrooms are double sized, both with built-in wardrobes, so there’s plenty of storage space, especially given the smaller bedroom and bathroom both have built-in cupboards as well. The living room has a large bay window, allowing in lots of light, and a characterful fireplace. The dining room is similar, with a window facing the back garden and a fireplace. The kitchen has two windows, and a door that opens into the back garden, which features paving, flowerbeds and several trees. Some landscaping would make this a really cosy space, perfect for hosting family and friends on a warm summer’s day.
