A former caretaker’s house at a Huddersfield school has been sold at auction for £89,000.

The detached property at Moorlands Primary School on Moorlands Road in Huddersfield had been offered at a guide price of £85,000-plus at the Eddisons sale, which took place at Elland Road stadium, Leeds.

Meanwhile, a tenanted retail investment on Trinity Street, close to Huddersfield town centre, producing annual rent of £11,200 sold for £111,000. The guide was £100,000-plus.

A vacant former leisure property close to the Kingsgate Shopping Centre sold prior to the sale, for an undisclosed sum.

In total, Eddisons generated proceeds of more than £6,000,000 at its two day sale in Leeds and Manchester and reported strong interest in a range of stock.

Tony Webber, director and auctioneer at Eddisons, said: ‘This was our first sale after the summer break and attracted large attendances. There was competitive bidding for lots in all categories which helped drive prices up.

“With plenty of interest in stock still available, the final figure seems sure to increase.”

Eddisons’ next Leeds auction takes place on Thursday, October 23.
