This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian home offers an affordable entry to Rotherham with clear scope to add value. The property includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, an extended bathroom and a low-maintenance rear patio — practical features for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward refurbishment project.
Internally the rooms are average in size (approximately 623 sq ft total) with original solid-brick construction and double glazing. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The long lease (688 years) removes immediate leasehold pressure, but additional fees for lease packs or management may apply.
Notable location factors: it’s close to the town centre and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. However, the neighbourhood records high crime and is classed as very deprived; buyers should weigh resale or rental prospects against these realities. A professional survey is recommended — walls are assumed uninsulated and some cosmetic and potential fabric work may be needed.
Priced at £100,000, the house suits a buyer who wants to personalise a period terrace or an investor looking for a low-entry purchase to refurbish and rent. The proximity to schools and transport links supports family or tenant demand, but be candid about the local area when marketing the property.
