GUIDE PRICE £240,000 - £250,000. Located in a well-established residential area popular with families and commuters alike, Lathe Road offers a solid and practical layout alongside some thoughtful updates. This three-bedroom semi-detached home has been extended to create a larger ground floor footprint and comes to the market with no onward chain, making the process straightforward for anyone looking to move without delay. The property sits on a quiet street in Whiston, just outside Rotherham, and benefits from easy access to local amenities, good schools, and major travel routes including the M1, M18, and Sheffield Parkway.
At the front, a neat block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads up to the extended entrance hall - a useful addition that gives a sense of space on arrival and helps to separate the living areas from the front door. Off the hallway, there's a downstairs WC, which is always practical in a family home or when entertaining.
The lounge offers a straightforward space for everyday living, with room for sofas, media units and shelving. Neutral décor allows for flexibility in styling, while the shape of the room lends itself well to both cosy evenings and everyday routines.
To the rear of the house, the extended kitchen provides a surprisingly generous area, fitted with a modern range of high gloss cream wall and base units. The layout includes an integrated oven, hob, and extractor fan, with space left for a washing machine, fridge-freezer, and other appliances. There's ample worktop space, and the room opens directly onto the back garden, making it an easy space to manage indoor and outdoor dining in warmer months.
Upstairs, the first floor continues the theme of straightforward, practical living. There are three bedrooms in total - and all are accessed from the landing. These rooms could suit a mix of uses including sleeping accommodation, home working, or additional storage, depending on individual needs.
The bathroom has been fitted with a white four-piece suite, including a separate shower cubicle, bath, wash basin, and WC. The larger size of this room is a benefit, as many properties of a similar age and type have smaller, more compact bathrooms. This space offers flexibility for future updates or works perfectly as it is.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and features a mix of lawn and patio - ideal for low-maintenance upkeep while still providing space for outdoor seating, a barbecue or play equipment. The layout makes the garden private and easy to enjoy without being overlooked.
