Set on a generous plot near Swanlands in Thorne, this four-bedroom semi-detached house mixes Victorian character with practical updates. The open-plan kitchen/living/diner with original beams and a new boiler provides a comfortable daily space, while a spiral staircase and period details add charm. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and an enclosed rear courtyard suit family life and outdoor storage.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors: a ground-floor open-plan living area with downstairs WC, a first-floor family bathroom plus a bedroom with its own toilet, and a second-floor double bedroom. The layout offers flexibility for a growing family or home working, though the property’s footprint is described as average-sized rather than spacious inside.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating is oil-fired with radiators; running costs and future servicing should be factored in. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect home working or streaming. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the wider neighbourhood records relative deprivation—both are important for insurance and long-term running costs.
This property will suit purchasers seeking period character with scope to modernise and personalise. The combination of good local schools, low crime, excellent mobile signal and proximity to transport links (including the train station and M18) makes it practical for family life. EPC rating C and freehold tenure are further positives, but budget for upgrades where needed (connectivity, potential flood mitigation, and future energy improvements).
