This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Petersgate, Doncaster, offers a straightforward starter-home layout and strong rental potential. The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking and a manageable rear garden — practical for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking good yield without major external work.
Internally the rooms are liveable but dated: a mid-sized living room with a working fireplace, separate dining room with French doors to the garden, and a fitted kitchen that will suit everyday use but could benefit from modernisation. The single bathroom is compact with a walk-in shower; families or buyers seeking more contemporary finishes should budget for updates.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and very low council tax. Flood risk is low, and the property lies close to well-regarded local schools and commuter routes, making it convenient for working buyers and families.
Notable issues: the house is in an area classified as deprived and in a former mining district — prospective buyers should check the Coal Authority. The interior shows its era and will need modernisation to maximise value; there is only one bathroom and average local crime. These facts reduce immediate curb appeal but also lower the entry price, leaving clear scope for improvement and value uplift.
