A two-bedroom mid-terrace offering a straightforward, affordable entry into Rotherham’s housing market. The property has period charm in a compact footprint: bay-front sitting room proportions, two modest bedrooms and a simple rear yard. It’s freehold and sits near shops, schools and transport links — convenient for first-time buyers needing local amenities.
The house requires renovation: cosmetic updating, likely upgrading of insulation (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated), and general modernisation throughout. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators in place and the windows are double glazed, although install dates are unknown. Room sizes are modest and the plot is small, so this suits buyers who prioritise location and price over outdoor space.
Practical positives include low council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. The area is mixed culturally with easy access to community facilities, supermarkets and bus services. That convenience, combined with the low asking price, makes the home a viable option for a first-time buyer prepared to invest time and money into improvements.
Be realistic about local challenges: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which can affect resale timing and tenant demand if buying to let. A thorough survey is recommended to confirm services and identify any structural or service issues before purchase.
