This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Southey Green offers a practical starter home or buy-to-let with solid bones and clear scope to add value. The property is chain-free, freehold and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and private front and rear gardens—useful for families or tenants.
Internally the layout is straightforward: bright living areas and two double bedrooms across an average-sized 646 sq ft footprint. The house requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; no major structural works are reported, but rooms are currently tired and will need decorating and replacement finishes to reach modern standards.
Location is a key strength: close to local shops, parks, bus links and well-placed for the Northern General Hospital, increasing rental demand from healthcare professionals. Nearby primary schools include two rated Good and one Outstanding; secondary provision is mixed. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Important considerations: the wider area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime, so buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors against price and potential rental income. For investors or first-time buyers willing to renovate, the property presents a low-entry opportunity to secure a foothold in Sheffield and create value through targeted improvements.
