A FORMER resource centre for the disabled in Manningham and a decrepit Grade II listed former pub are among lots that will go under the hammer at an auction next month.

The Whetley Hill Resource Centre was recently closed due to budget cuts by Bradford Council, and at the Pugh property auction on September 15 the council owned building will be put up for sale.

The guide price for the property is £250,000.

The two storey, 16,878 square foot building was a local resource for disabled people, but in in 2011 Bradford Council announced plans to close the centre as part of ongoing budget cuts.

Up for auction is the resource centre building, which includes numerous meeting rooms and offices, and the wider 1.92 acre site, including a car park.

It is one of three council owned properties that will be up for sale at the auction, which is being held at Leeds United Football Club.

A plot of land at Summerbridge Drive in Eccleshill has a guide price of £2,000. The sloping 466 square metre plot of land is let by way of a garden tenancy, and the council is advertising that the land produces an annual rental income of £200.

And the council will also be selling a one bedroom house, 11 Crossley Hall Mews, off Thornton Road. The property has a guide price of £70,000.

If all the council owned lots sell for their guide price at auction, it will bag the authority £322,000.

Another significant building up for sale at the auction is the eyesore former Gardeners Arms pub on Holme Top Lane, opposite St Luke’s Hospital.

The listed Victorian pub has been shut for several years, and has since suffered vandalism and was damaged by a fire in 2014. The auction catalogue says the pub is “in need of total refurbishment” and in “poor condition.”

The pub is up for auction with a guide price of £55,000.

In 2011 plans were approved for the building to be converted into a place of worship, but the conversion never went ahead and planning permission has since lapsed.

A plot of land at Hinchcliffe Street in Undercliffe, which has planning consent for 10 houses, has a guide price of £150,000.

The planning application, for two rows of terraced houses, was approved last year.

The auction starts at noon.
