A two-bedroom mid-terrace in Rawmarsh offering a straightforward investment opportunity. The property is chain-free and freehold, with a potential rental income of around £675pcm, making it suitable for a buy-to-let purchase or a modest refurbishment project.
The house was built circa 1900–1929 in solid red brick and retains period character externally. Internally the rooms are average sized and the home is heated by a mains gas boiler with radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The rear garden is small and currently overgrown, requiring clearance and basic repair.
Practical considerations: the property needs modernisation and some maintenance, and the walls are likely uninsulated. The local area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels, which will affect tenant demand and rental values. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, which supports lettings to working tenants.
This is a straightforward, lower-price entry into the local market for investors comfortable managing refurbishment and letting in a tougher neighbourhood. Carrying out targeted improvements will increase rental appeal and could improve yield, but buyers should budget for upgrades and ongoing management costs.
