Set on a sought-after street within walking distance of Wombwell centre, this end-of-terrace house is offered with no upward chain — a good entry point for a first-time buyer or a budget investor. The property provides two main bedrooms plus an attic room, a lounge, kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a generous enclosed rear garden.
The house benefits from gas central heating and double glazing and sits on a solid brick terrace built in the early 20th century. The layout is straightforward and adaptable, making it possible to modernise gradually or reconfigure the attic into a usable bedroom or workspace (subject to checks and approvals).
Buyers should note material considerations: the walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, the EPC is E and some updating will be needed to reach modern standards. The local area scores high on deprivation and recorded crime levels are elevated, factors to weigh for families or sensitive buyers. Council tax is low (Band A), broadband and mobile signal are good, and transport links including bus and train services plus quick access to the Dearne Valley link and M1 are practical benefits.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, chain-free starter home with scope to add value through energy and cosmetic improvements, or an investor targeting rental demand close to local amenities and transport.
