This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Cobwell Road is a practical, affordable entry to Retford living. A newly fitted kitchen and new carpets mean minimal immediate work indoors, while the open-plan living/kitchen creates a light, usable ground-floor space for everyday life or lettings. The home is freehold and compact at about 797 sq ft — straightforward to manage for first-time owners or landlords.
Location is a clear strength: the property sits on the fringes of Retford town centre with easy walking access to shops, market days, bus and rail links (London reachable by rail). Kings Park, nearby schools with good Ofsted ratings and local amenities add to everyday convenience and rental appeal. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed (install date unknown).
Buyers should weigh the context honestly. The area is classified as deprived with very high local crime — factors that may affect resale value and rental demand. The house is small with a compact front garden and enclosed rear yard; built circa early 1900s with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation. There is one bathroom only. A basic survey is advised to confirm services and any insulation or structural needs.
Overall this property suits buyers seeking a low-cost, well-located starter home or an investor wanting a lettable mid-terrace with updated interiors. Expect modest running and improvement costs to enhance long-term value given the area and construction characteristics.
