This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Sheppard Road is offered with no upward chain and freehold tenure — a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a compact investment. The layout is traditional and spacious throughout, with a lounge-diner, modern kitchen and bathroom, and a detached garage providing practical storage and parking.
The house dates from the 1930s, with solid brick walls and double glazing. It has mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and an EPC rating of D. The property has a small rear garden and good transport links, being close to Doncaster city centre and motorway access. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Be aware of material local-area factors: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a high local crime level, and the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect running costs. The property will benefit from cosmetic updating in places (living room wallpaper, dated fittings) and potential insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades.
For buyers seeking value, the home offers potential: advertised rental yield around 6.8% and low council tax. It suits a buyer willing to carry out modest improvements to reduce running costs and increase resale or rental value. Immediate occupation is possible thanks to no upward chain.
