Summary - 42, THICKET DRIVE, ROTHERHAM, MALTBY S66 7LB
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Lock-up-and-leave home with garage parking and two gardens.
Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor flat
A practical one-bedroom ground-floor flat offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a straightforward, lock-up-and-leave home. The flat has an unusually long lease (956 years) and low ground rent (£10), removing common leasehold anxieties and simplifying purchase costs.
The property’s clear strengths are an integral garage with power and lighting, private driveway parking, and two small gardens (one lawned, one pebbled). Gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a fitted kitchen make the flat immediately habitable while still leaving scope to personalise.
Internally the finish is dated and will suit buyers willing to update surfaces and flooring; the living room and kitchen are compact and the layout is best for single occupancy or a couple. The area is recorded as very deprived locally and crime levels are average; this is reflected in the modest asking price and low council tax band.
Practical buyers should note potential additional fees for leasehold documentation packs and are recommended to commission standard checks on services and the boiler. Overall this is a low-maintenance, low-cost entry property with garage parking and straightforward future rental or resale potential once modernised.
