Set within the sought-after village of Skelmanthorpe, this three-bedroom Victorian semi offers an affordable, characterful home ideal for a first-time buyer. The living room spans the full depth of the house, features exposed beams and French doors onto a decked rear area — a sunny spot for morning coffee and private outdoor time. The property is offered chain-free and is freehold with low council tax (Band B).
Accommodation is neutrally presented and largely move-in ready: an entrance hall, generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, cellar for storage, three first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom with shower over the bath. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, fast broadband potential and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home. Local amenities, good schools and countryside walks are close by, with straightforward road links for commuting.
The house does present some trade-offs to consider. The original stone walls are assumed uninsulated which could affect heating costs and future retrofit works. The plot and garden are small, with on-street parking to the front rather than off-road parking. There are planning applications affecting surrounding land; buyers should check local planning portals if future development or privacy is a concern.
Overall this is a compact, characterful home with scope to modernise and add value. It suits a first-time buyer seeking a village location and period features, or an investor looking for a straightforward three-bed let in a very affluent local area.
