Set on a decent plot in S5, this three-bedroom semi offers a practical, freehold family home or buy-to-let opportunity. The property provides comfortable living space across roughly 1,077 sq ft, with a medium-sized living room, kitchen with garden access and a private lawned rear garden — useful for children or pets. Central heating, mains gas boiler and double glazing (installation date unknown) give year-round comfort, while an average crime level and excellent mobile signal are practical pluses.
The house was built in the 1950s–1960s and shows typical period features; it will suit buyers prepared to personalise and update. There is a single family bathroom and three bedrooms — enough for a young family or rental tenants. Some refurbishment is likely needed to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetics; no listed or flood risk issues are reported.
Location and transport are strong selling points: regular bus services, close access to the M1 and Meadowhall within easy driving distance. Local amenities include shops, parks, sports facilities and several primary and secondary schools (most rated Good, though one nearby secondary requires improvement and another is Inadequate). The wider area is classified as very deprived with many rented terraces, which may affect longer-term capital growth but supports rental demand.
In short, this is a straightforward, well-located 3-bed semi with decent living space and garden, sold freehold at an accessible guide price. It will appeal most to first-time buyers and investors comfortable with light-to-moderate updating and buying into a high-demand rental micro-market.
