Summary - Apartment 7, 117 Flanderwell Lane, Sunnyside, ROTHERHAM S66 3QS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-management investment with private garden and long lease.
Chain-free sale with tenant in situ, immediate rental income potential
This first-floor, two-bedroom flat in Sunnyside offers a straightforward investment: chain-free sale with an existing tenant in situ, providing immediate rental income potential. At approximately 667 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized home with an open-plan layout and a private low-maintenance rear garden — features that appeal to long-term tenants and easy lettings.
Constructed in the 1930s–1940s from solid brick, the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and electric room heaters. The long lease (115 years remaining) and low council tax make holding costs comparatively modest. Local amenities are close by, and nearby schools include an Outstanding-rated primary and several Good-rated secondaries, supporting steady local demand.
Important considerations: heating is via electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so further energy upgrades (insulation, heating) are likely to be needed to improve EPC and running costs. The flat is leasehold — check service charges and ground rent — and the current listing information on bathrooms is inconsistent, so confirm exact fixtures and internal configuration at viewing or via paperwork.
Overall, this is a low-management, income-focused opportunity in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It will suit an investor seeking steady rental returns or a buyer willing to carry modest retrofit work to boost energy performance and rental value.
