This two-bedroom mid-terraced home on Doncaster Road offers straightforward, affordable living in a practical Victorian layout. With an open-plan lounge-diner and a sensible kitchen footprint, the house suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a rentable property in a well-established residential street.
The property is freehold and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators; double glazing is present though the install date is unknown. Built circa 1900–1929 with solid stone/limestone walls (assumed no cavity insulation), it presents clear scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to increase comfort and value.
Notable location facts are mixed: local amenities and several schools are nearby, broadband and mobile signal are adequate to excellent, and council tax band A keeps running costs low. However, the immediate area records higher crime and relative deprivation indicators, and the plot and garden are small — factors to weigh for family buyers.
Buyers should arrange a survey and service checks: services and measurements are unconfirmed and the property may benefit from updating or insulation works. Priced at £70,000 (guide), this is a pragmatic purchase for someone seeking an entry-level home or a renovation/investment project.
