Middle Lane South, Herringthorpe

GUIDE PRICE £170,000 - £180,000. Overlooking Herringthorpe Playing Fields, this three-bedroom semi-detached property on Middle Lane South is a spacious and well-positioned home offered for sale with no onward chain. Located in a popular part of Rotherham, the house is set back from the road and offers generous outdoor space to both the front and rear. The layout inside is traditional and functional, with scope for future updating, making it a strong option for families, first-time buyers or anyone seeking a home with solid foundations and a good-sized plot.
The setting is a key feature here, with uninterrupted views across the playing fields to the front, providing a real sense of openness that's hard to find so close to town. Herringthorpe itself is a long-established area with strong transport connections. Rotherham town centre is under ten minutes away by car or bus, while the M1 and Sheffield Parkway can be accessed quickly for those commuting to Sheffield, Doncaster or further afield. Public transport links run regularly, and the area is well served by local shops including a Co-op Food and Iceland on Middle Lane. For families, Herringthorpe Junior and Infant Schools, Clifton Community School and St Bernard's Catholic High School are both within walking distance and have good reputations locally.
The house is entered via a side hallway, with stairs leading to the first floor. The ground floor has two main reception rooms. At the front, the lounge benefits from a wide bay window looking directly out onto the playing fields and has an electric fire. The second reception room, currently used as a dining room, also features a fireplace and is a useful space for either dining or as a second lounge, depending on how the house is used.
At the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and offers space for all essential appliances. There is access from here directly into the rear garden, and the layout could be adapted or opened up if future buyers wanted a more modern kitchen-diner arrangement.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all of which are well proportioned. The main and second bedrooms are both doubles, while the third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and could be used as a child's room, home office or dressing space. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a panelled bath, WC and basin.
Externally, the front garden is pebbled, giving the property a set-back feel from the pavement. A driveway runs to the side and provides off-road parking, with access to the rear. The back garden is particularly generous, with a lawned area, patio and garden shed, and still has plenty of potential for landscaping, growing space or even extending, subject to usual permissions.
Properties in this part of Herringthorpe are consistently popular due to their strong locations, good school catchments and larger than average plots.
