Summary - 72 Farthing Avenue DN15 8JX
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable two-bed semi with parking — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Two bedrooms in a compact, practical two-storey layout
A practical two-bedroom semi-detached home offering straightforward, affordable living in DN15. The layout is economical: entrance hall, living room, ground-floor W/C, kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom — a sensible footprint for a first purchase or rental. A newly fitted boiler and double glazing (install date unknown) reduce immediate maintenance concerns and help with running costs.
Externally the house sits on a small urban plot with a lawned front garden, enclosed rear/side lawns and private off-street parking. The property is close to local shops, schools, Scunthorpe Hospital and transport links, making everyday errands and commutes convenient. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
Important considerations: the area shows high crime rates and significant local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale and tenant demand. The EPC is D and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency work could be needed to improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the house is best described as modest in scale — not suitable if you need large living spaces or private grounds.
This home suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable starter home, and investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let with immediate rental potential. Cosmetic updates would personalise the space; modest energy upgrades would add value over time. Viewings available to assess fit and scope for improvement in person.
