Chain-free three-bed requiring full modernisation, with parking and garden.
Three bedrooms across two storeys, about 1,000 sq ft
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Woodhouse is offered chain-free and presents clear potential for a buyer willing to renovate. The property provides around 1,000 sq ft across two storeys, with an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a single three-piece bathroom. Off-street parking and a low-maintenance rear garden add practical appeal for families or first-time buyers.
The house was built c.1900–1929 with traditional sandstone/limestone walls (assumed uninsulated) and has mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation dates unknown). It requires a full programme of modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some technical upgrades — so expect to budget for refurbishment works to bring it up to contemporary standards.
Local amenities are close by, including several Good-rated primary schools and direct transport links toward Sheffield and the M1. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, but the wider area scores high on deprivation and the neighbourhood classification indicates challenges; crime levels are average. The property’s council tax is described as cheap, which will help running costs during and after renovation.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a renovation project with parking and a compact garden in a well-connected suburb. Be realistic about conversion and upgrade costs — the house’s period construction and assumed lack of wall insulation mean energy-efficiency improvements will be a likely priority.
