A historic property in Manningham, Bradford, was severely damaged by fire, with construction workers estimating repairs could cost around £100,000. The building is located on Apsley Crescent, within one of Bradford's designated conservation areas. Concerns have grown over the future of the property following the blaze.

Construction workers Ahsan Manzoo and Sedic Ollah were working on a neighbouring property when they received word of the fire. Although the neighbouring building escaped the flames, smoke quickly spread through it. Mr Manzoo said the smoke lingered for some time, with occupants temporarily staying elsewhere whilst cleaning work was carried out. The family with children in the property struggled with the smoke, particularly upstairs.

Smoke damage to the neighbouring property resulted in carpets and furnishings requiring professional cleaning, with around £1,000 spent on remedial work. Residents feared the blaze could have threatened other nearby properties had it spread further.
