Meanwood Road, Meanwood, Leeds

Meanwood Road, Meanwood, Leeds | Sold via Modern Method of Auction | Starting bid: £165,000 | Freehold | Three bedrooms | 3D Virtual Tour Available

A genuinely exciting opportunity in the heart of Meanwood — a characterful three-bedroom terrace with an unconverted basement, original features throughout, and enough potential to turn heads whether you're an investor or a family buyer.

Properties like this don't come along often. This three bed terrace on Meanwood Road is one of those houses that has a bit of everything — bags of character, serious space, and real potential for the buyer who wants to put their own stamp on it.

It's been a consistently popular rental home over the years, and it's not hard to see why. It sits in a great spot on Meanwood Road with everything the neighbourhood has to offer right on the doorstep — independent shops, cafes, green spaces, and excellent transport links into Leeds city centre. But whilst it's always performed well as a rental, this is equally a property that could make a truly fantastic family home with the right modernisation. The bones are there — it just needs someone to bring it back to life.

Yes, it needs updating throughout — but that's exactly where the opportunity lies, and it's reflected in the starting bid.

A walk through the property

Basement

Before you even get to the front door, it's worth starting at the bottom — because the basement alone is worth the visit. Two large rooms, both with their own character and a serious amount of space, with internal access from the main house as well as independent external access. One of the rooms is large enough to currently house a full size pool table — that should give you a sense of the scale on offer. Whether you're thinking a games room, home gym, home office, additional living space, or something more ambitious entirely, the potential here is considerable. Subject to the relevant consents, this basement could genuinely transform what's already a great property into something really special.

Ground floor

The ground floor is straightforward and practical. You enter via the front door and into the hallway, leading through to a comfortable living room — the kind of room that has good proportions and, with a bit of love, will be a really lovely space. To the rear, the kitchen benefits from a back door giving direct access outside, which is a handy feature for everyday living.

First floor

Head up to the first floor and you'll find two bedrooms — one a generous double and one a smaller room that works well as a single, a home office, or a nursery — alongside the house bathroom. It's a well-balanced floor that works for a variety of occupants.

Top floor

The top floor is where this property really surprises. A large landing area greets you as you arrive — a genuinely versatile space that would make a fantastic home office, reading room, or study area, and one that many buyers will immediately see the potential in. Beyond that sits the third bedroom, a good-sized room that benefits from the privacy of being on the top floor.

Outside

To the front, a garden provides outdoor space and adds to the kerb appeal of this characterful terrace. The rear of the property has a paved area, perfect for sitting out on the sun or enjoying a BBQ. Access to the basement can also be via the door in the rear yard.
