Detached house
Located in the heart of Drighlington, comes an exciting opportunity for an investor/builder. Measuring approximately 0.25 acres, the site currently comprises a two bedroom detached house and a pair of dilapidated cottages. The main house requires a full scheme of renovation and building works to get it back to its former glory. The cottages, believed to have had a first floor and basements, had their roofs removed many years ago, and have been left open to the elements. These will require significant building work/rebuilding. The official access to the site would be via Penfield Road, however, developers may have other options subject to gaining the necessary permissions.
The site has been neglected for many years and is now very overgrown, blocking access to the cottages. Please note – For those attending viewings, the ground is not level and full of nettles/brambles so you will need to dress appropriately. It is important you do not try to access the site outside of the viewing times provided.
Drighlington is a village located just 6.5 miles west of Leeds city centre and with great access to the M62/M621 and the Birstall Retail Park. Locally, there are plenty of village pubs and restaurants, a local primary school, library, doctors surgery, shops and sports clubs.
