The five most expensive streets in Bradford to buy a house

Using its valuation estimate software, Zoopla has given each street in the district a ‘Zed-Index’ based on the average property value of homes along that street.

It has now revealed the top five most expensive streets in the district, with houses on the priciest road costing on average more than £670,000.

Homes in four of the top five streets have an average value of more than half a million pounds.

The most expensive street in the Bradford district is Woodlands Drive in Apperley Bridge, a private road which snakes from the area, near the train station, through woods and fields and coming out by Rawdon Crematorium.

The road is populated by substantial properties, including houses with courtyards, tennis courts, and impressive gardens, where the average home value is £674,141.

One property on the street was sold this year, a three-bed detached cottage for £615,000, which featured large living areas, a playroom, a master bedroom with fitting room, and a good-sized garden.

Second on the list was High Meadows in Wilsden, where the current average value of homes is £573,184, however no one on the street sold up this year.

The quiet cul-de-sac is surrounded by open fields with just 10 impressive-looking homes on the loop.

The third most expensive street is Nettleton Close in Tong Village, where the average house value sits at £523,812.

Close to the local pub, church and backing onto the picturesque Tong Valley, the small cul-de-sac is made up of around 15 properties tucked away off Tong Lane.

The only house on the street sold this year came in September, a four-bedroom home fetching £394,000, almost £100,000 below its estimated value.

Fourth was The Beeches in Birkenshaw – not in the district but included due to its BD postcode – where the average value sits at £514,384.

Another small cul-de-sac, it features a number of impressively sized homes and has seen very little turnover in recent years, with the most recent sales coming six years ago.

It is bordered by existing homes, a cemetery, playing fields and new build homes which back onto the street off Bradford Road.

Sherburn Grove, also in Birkenshaw, takes fifth spot with an average value of £485,706, which has dropped over the past year and sits more than £130,000 lower than the average price paid for homes on the street.

Two houses on the cosy cul-de-sac off Station Lane sold in the past year, one a three-bed bungalow for £455,175, almost £45,000 below its estimated value, while the other, a four-bedroom detached home with four reception rooms, three bathrooms, a double garage and large garden, fetched £798,000 – over £20,000 below its asking price and almost £100,000 below its estimated price.

The average home value in the Bradford district sits just under £150,000, while the average asking price last year was £193,568.
