Chain-free Victorian terrace with renovation potential and cheap council tax, close to schools and transport..
Two bedrooms, one bathroom, 765 sq ft overall size
A mid-terrace Victorian two-bedroom home offering clear renovation potential in Wombwell. At 765 sq ft with a small rear yard, the property is chain-free and sold freehold, giving a new owner scope to modernise and add value.
The house retains period character with a brick facade and fireplace but requires updating throughout — cosmetic works, likely insulation improvements, and a full refurbishment are needed. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
Practical advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low flood risk and very cheap council tax. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good to Outstanding, and local shops, transport links and countryside walks are within easy reach.
Important negatives are the high local crime rate, area deprivation indicators and small plot size. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and checks on walls (solid brick, assumed uninsulated) and services before committing.
