This traditional mid-terrace on Gilberthorpe Street offers an affordable entry into Clifton with straightforward, usable accommodation over two floors. The property is freehold, double-glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, making it immediately habitable while still offering scope for improvement.
Ground-floor living room with a bay window and an extended kitchen lead to a low-maintenance rear yard. Two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom suit a small family, couple or buy-to-let portfolio addition. The house sits close to Rotherham town centre and local transport links, which supports rental demand and commuter convenience.
Buyers should budget for cosmetic updating and improvements to energy performance: the terrace has solid brick walls with no known insulation and decor appears dated. The area is classified as deprived with constrained-renter demand, so buyers expecting rapid capital uplift should factor local market conditions into their plans. A pre-purchase survey is recommended to confirm services and any hidden issues.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-price opportunity for first-time buyers wanting a manageable home to personalise, or investors seeking a simple, let-ready terrace with convenient access to town amenities.
