This three-bedroom semi-detached house located on Harwill Rise in Churwell, Leeds, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its location is relatively strong, offering convenient access to schools, train stations (Cottingley and Morley are within walking distance), and Leeds city centre is within reasonable commuting distance. The presence of a garden, although needing significant attention, represents an additional asset.

However, the property’s condition is a significant concern. The images provided showcase outdated interiors, needing complete refurbishment throughout. The damaged ceiling in the living room is a major issue requiring immediate attention and adds to the overall cost of renovation. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures also appear very dated and will need complete overhauls. This will result in a substantial upfront investment beyond the purchase price.

The plot size is not specified, but based on the images, the garden appears relatively modest. Although the presence of a garden is a positive, its condition and apparent size limit its overall value. While the list price falls within the range of similar properties in the area, potential buyers must carefully weigh the costs of renovation against the property’s current market value. The asking price is reasonable, especially considering the relatively good location, but the costs associated with bringing the property up to a livable and modern standard should be factored in before making a decision. A thorough survey is essential to ascertain the full extent of any structural issues beyond the visible cosmetic defects.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
