Chain free two-bedroom mid-terrace beneath Conisbrough Castle
Art-deco tiled fireplace, spiral staircase and attic storage space
Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing installed
Private, low-maintenance rear courtyard with brick store
Solid brick walls likely without insulation; potential retrofit needed
EPC rating D; possible energy upgrade opportunities
Medium flood risk in area; consider insurance costs

Set beneath Conisbrough Castle, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a compact, characterful starter home within walking distance of schools, bus routes and local amenities. The main living space retains period features including an art-deco tiled fire surround and an open grate, while a wrought-iron spiral staircase adds character and access to the first floor and attic storage.
The accommodation is practical: a fitted kitchen with appliances, a fully tiled family bathroom, two bedrooms and a loft-style attic space with a Velux window. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing are in place; the property is freehold and offered chain free, which suits buyers who want a quick, straightforward move.
Outside is an enclosed rear courtyard with low-maintenance artificial turf, concrete patio and a brick-built store — ideal for simple outdoor living without large upkeep. The home’s footprint (around 722 sq ft) and small plot make it manageable for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is an early 20th-century solid-brick construction likely lacking wall insulation, the EPC is rated D, and the area has a medium flood risk and higher local crime levels. These are practical factors to weigh against the house’s location and low running costs (Council Tax Band A).
