Freehold Victorian mid-terrace; traditional two-bedroom layout
Small overall size ~500 sq ft; compact rooms throughout

Located in a deprived area — supports rental demand but limits growth
This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house on Victoria Road, Mexborough, is presented as a compact, freehold investment with a potential yield of around 8.5% if purchased with the current sitting tenant. The property occupies a small plot and offers traditional room layouts including lounge, kitchen-diner, bathroom, basement and two double bedrooms. EPC rating D.
The house requires some updating and general maintenance — described as "needs work" — which creates scope to add value through refurbishment or reconfiguration. The interior is modest in size (approximately 500 sq ft) with standard-height ceilings and basic finishes; the basement adds useful storage but may need attention depending on intended use.
Location is a practical strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, frequent bus links and nearby schools rated Good. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with blue-collar terraces, which supports rental demand and the advertised yield but also points to local market limitations and lower capital-growth prospects.
This is best suited to an investor seeking an entry-level buy-to-let in Mexborough or a buyer willing to carry out improvements to increase income or resale value. Important negatives to budget for: refurbishment costs, modest living space, and the realities of a deprived local area despite good transport and amenity access.
