Area Information

BD7 4DF is a small, densely populated residential cluster within Great Horton, a historic ward in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Covering just 2.2 hectares, it is home to 1,483 residents, translating to a population density of 68,227 people per square kilometre — a stark contrast to the area’s compact size. Situated approximately 2.5 miles south-west of Bradford city centre, it lies within a conservation area that preserves 17th- to 19th-century buildings, including listed structures like Hall’s House and Horton Park, opened in 1878. Daily life here is shaped by its urbanised past, with a mix of historic architecture and 19th-century workers’ housing. The area’s proximity to Bradford’s transport hubs and retail centres, combined with its conservation status, offers a blend of heritage and practicality. While the population is relatively small, the density fosters a tight-knit community feel, though the lack of large green spaces or modern amenities may require residents to venture further for certain facilities.

BD7 4DF is primarily an owner-occupied area, with 78% of residents living in their own homes. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, reflecting the area’s historic and conservation-focused character. Given the small size of the postcode — just 2.2 hectares — the housing stock is likely limited, with properties concentrated in the conservation area’s designated historic core. This suggests a niche market for buyers seeking characterful, period homes, though the scarcity of available properties may drive competition. The proximity to Bradford’s transport network and retail hubs adds practical appeal, though the area’s compact nature means buyers should consider nearby neighbourhoods for additional options. The conservation status may also influence property values, with historic features potentially increasing desirability for those prioritising architectural heritage.
