A Victorian mansion which once belonged to a textile baron is going under the hammer.
City Council, is to be put up for auction next month with planning consent for redevelopment to eight residential apartments. Dating back to 1847, the four-storey, 11,000 sq ft building, will appear in auction house Pugh’s online property auction on December 6 with a guide price of £300,000.
A family home until the 1930s, Micklefield House belonged to early photographer and Bradford mayor John Godwin whose son John also went on to become the first lord mayor of Bradford in 1907. The house was extended in 1872 by Bradford textile merchant and Rawdon councillor Thomas Arton. The building retains many of its original features, including a baronial-style first-floor ballroom, richly moulded cornicing, painted-glass windows, and Victorian fireplaces.
Paul Thompson, managing director at auctioneer Pugh, said: “This striking gothic-style building is a landmark property which so many people will know. With planning consent already in place to create eight apartments, with parking, we have already had substantial interest in Micklefield House.
