A compact three-bedroom semi-detached house in Thurnscoe offered freehold at an entry-level price. The property requires a full programme of modernisation but already has gas central heating and double glazing, reducing immediate major expenditure. At about 410 sq ft the home is small and best suited to buyers seeking a low-cost refurbishment project or an investor targeting rental income in a budget market.
The plot includes a side/rear garden and standard mid-20th-century construction (cavity walls, pitched roof). Local broadband is fast and key primary and secondary schools nearby are rated Good, which supports lettability. Transport links and local amenities are within reach for working tenants in the area.
Material drawbacks are clear: the house needs renovation throughout, the area records high crime and very high deprivation, and internal space is limited with a single bathroom. Prospective purchasers should factor refurbishment costs and local market conditions into valuations and check the EPC and any service/appliance functionality as these have not been independently tested.
For investors this is a value-driven purchase with potential after-repair value or rental yield uplift; for owner-occupiers it suits someone prepared for an affordable renovation in a challenged neighbourhood. Viewings and detailed surveys are recommended before offer.
