This Victorian mid-terrace on Barnsley Road offers clear investment or first-time purchase potential. The layout provides a lounge, dining kitchen, one bathroom and two main bedrooms plus a small occasional third room accessed via bedroom two — useful as a study, nursery or dressing room.
The house requires some modernisation: dated mid-20th-century kitchen fittings and general cosmetic updating throughout. The property is small overall but benefits from a larger-than-average rear yard for a terrace, useful for storage or outdoor space improvements. On-street parking only; no allocated parking.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus no identified flood risk. The area is very deprived with above-average crime rates, so buyers should consider location-related management or security measures if letting. Projected rental income around £725pcm indicates potential for buy-to-let returns after refurbishment.
This will suit investors seeking a value-add let or first-time buyers/downsizers comfortable with a renovation project. Transparency about condition and neighbourhood factors helps set realistic budgets and timelines for improvement.
