Description
THE BUILDING
Presented to the market with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is a great opportunity to purchase a ready-made investment which is currently producing £91020 per annum exclusive of all utility and council tax bills. Built in 1835 and located within the Headingley Hill Conservation Area, this listed building was converted into self-contained units in 2009 by the current owner (with full planning approval & listed building consent). The properties have hardwood double glazing and gas central heating.
The apartments are currently let to professional tenants on Assured Shorthold fixed term tenancies through to Summer 2025. Four of the apartments use a communal entrance and hallway accessed at the front of the building, with the other two apartments each having a private entrance at the rear. Each apartment has its own gas and electric meters, gas combi boiler, water rates and council tax band. Off road parking for residents and their visitors is available at the rear of the development, with one of the parking spaces fitted with a EV charge point.
The property is very well maintained by the current owner, with general spruce up work such as redecoration, new carpets etc readily done between tenancies. In recent years, three of the flats have had new gas central heating boilers installed. The communal hallway retains the original grand staircase banister along with several original fireplaces within the apartments; with the retained original features having been restored/refurbished during the conversion work.
The building is currently held on a single Freehold title, and we’ve no doubt there is the potential to split this to create individual Leasehold titles with a view to selling the flats separately in the future (if desired).
Holmefield House is for sale as a going concern – current fixed term tenancies unaffected – and we highly recommended anyone who is seriously interested to arrange an early viewing.
RENTAL INCOME
Currently, the building is fully let to professional tenants producing a gross rental income of £91020 per annum, with minimal void periods between tenancies. We believe there is an opportunity to increase the overall rental income further by upgrading the fixtures and fittings as and when a flat becomes vacant. All tenants pay their own utility and council tax bills.

OUTSIDE
The building is located at the junction of North Hill Road and Headingley Lane, yet nicely tucked away and having the benefit of south west facing communal gardens, plus off road parking for residents and their visitors. The driveway and land to the north of the development is not included within the title, although there is a right of way over the driveway for vehicular and pedestrian access. One of the parking spaces is fitted with an EV charging point and there are five unconnected EV cables installed under the car park; making it straight forward to add more EV charging points in the future.
LOCATION
Holmefield House is located just under 2 miles from Leeds city centre, in the sought after north Leeds suburb of Headingley, where there is a vibrant mix of leisure and shopping amenities. Buses into the city centre run regularly along Headingley Lane, making this location a popular choice for those working in the city centre. The building is a short walk to Woodhouse Ridge, a green corridor that carries you out of the city and into the countryside. The walk into town along the Ridge takes approximately 30 minutes and provides welcome respite from the daily hustle and bustle!
