Area Information

BD7 4BW is a compact residential postcode in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, encompassing a small cluster of homes within the Great Horton conservation area. The area’s population of 1,483 is concentrated across just 1,883 square metres, resulting in a population density of over 787,000 people per square kilometre. This high density reflects its role as a tightly knit urban settlement, historically part of the ancient township of Horton. The area’s character is defined by its conservation status, preserving 17th- to 19th-century buildings such as Hall’s House and the Old Bell Chapel, alongside 18th-century workers’ housing. Daily life here is shaped by its proximity to Bradford’s city centre (2.5 miles away) and its integration into the broader industrial heritage of the region. While the area’s compact size means limited green space, its historic architecture and proximity to transport links offer a blend of urban convenience and preserved character.

BD7 4BW is primarily an owner-occupied area, with 78% of homes owned by residents rather than rented. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is unusual for a densely populated urban postcode. This suggests a mix of semi-detached and terraced properties, typical of 19th-century workers’ housing and historic conservation buildings. The small area size (1,883 m²) means the housing stock is limited, potentially making the market competitive for buyers. The focus on owner-occupation implies a community prioritising stability over rental flexibility. For buyers, this means properties may be more likely to be family homes rather than short-term investments. The presence of listed buildings and conservation status adds historical value but may also impose restrictions on modifications.
