Description
This two-bedroom mid-terraced house in Balby has two reception rooms and is described as requiring modernisation throughout. The ground floor includes a front lounge with a bay window and fireplace, a separate dining room with a storage cupboard, and a kitchen with rear and side windows and a door to the garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a main bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with a bath, wash basin and WC. A wall-mounted boiler is noted in the second bedroom.
The property also has an enclosed rear garden with lawn, shrubs and trees. It is situated close to local amenities and transport and commuter links. The existing two-reception layout and outdoor space provide a basis for considering refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the property’s condition and services.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £60,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it a notably low-cost entry point for someone looking to create value. Its two reception rooms and enclosed rear garden give the project useful scope, while the visible interiors offer plenty of room to put your own stamp on the house.
The work is more than a cosmetic refresh: the kitchen and bathroom are tired, finishes and flooring are dated throughout the visible rooms, and the garden needs clearing and attention. Staining, ceiling spotting and wall cracks also warrant investigation, though no clear major structural failure is visible in the photographs.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the two reception rooms and two bedrooms to create a consistent, more contemporary interior while retaining the house’s existing layout.
- Rework the basic kitchen and dated bathroom as part of a broader upgrade, rather than treating the project as a surface refresh.
- Clear and improve the enclosed rear garden to make better use of its outdoor space.
Key risks
- The worn finishes across the visible rooms, kitchen and bathroom make this a substantial multi-room programme; allow for a full modernisation schedule rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Investigate the visible staining, bathroom ceiling spotting and wall cracks to establish their cause and whether any underlying repairs are needed.
