The property is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house with a total area of 935 sqft and a small garden. It’s listed at £100,000. The average house price in the area is significantly higher at £871,624, with an average price per sqft of £676. However, this average is likely skewed by larger, more expensive properties. Nearby terraced houses on Cross Street sold for between £38,000 and £95,000, suggesting the £100,000 asking price for this property is at the higher end of the market for similar properties in the immediate vicinity.

The property appears to be in reasonable condition. While some minor cosmetic updates might enhance its appeal, there is no evidence of significant structural issues or the need for extensive renovations. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional, though dated. The presence of a fireplace and original features suggests some traditional character. The small garden is a positive feature, offering some outdoor space.

The location is convenient, with a primary school (Kimberworth Community Primary School) within a short distance. Several other schools are also within reasonable proximity, although their Ofsted ratings vary. The proximity to Rotherham Central train station provides good transport links.

Considering the property’s condition, location, size, and the prices of comparable properties in the area, the list price of £100,000 appears reasonable, although potentially slightly on the higher side compared to some very recent sales of similar terraced houses. The lower average price per sqft in the immediate area supports this assessment.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
