Guide Price £50,000 - £60,000
For investors looking for an opportunity where the rental income is already established, this two-bedroom terraced property in Hexthorpe is being sold with a tenant in situ, currently paying £580 per calendar month.
With a Guide Price of £50,000–£60,000, the existing rent represents an annual income of £6,960 and a potential gross yield of approximately 11.6%–13.9% based on the guide price range, before any associated costs.
Rather than purchasing a vacant property and immediately facing the job of finding a tenant, this gives an incoming landlord the opportunity to acquire an existing rental investment with a tenancy already in place.
The accommodation itself extends to approximately 573 sq ft across two floors.
On the ground floor, the property has a separate lounge measuring approximately 12'0" x 11'3", together with a kitchen, entrance hall and ground-floor bathroom.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom measuring approximately 12'0" x 11'3" and the second approximately 10'5" x 8'3". There is also useful built-in storage.
Outside, the property has an enclosed rear garden, providing valuable private outdoor space for the occupier.
The property is currently occupied and buyers should expect the presentation to reflect a lived-in rental home. For an investor, however, the attraction here is less about show-home presentation and much more about the fundamentals: an existing tenant, established rental income, two-bedroom accommodation and a highly accessible location close to central Doncaster.
Why Hexthorpe works as a rental location
Hexthorpe borders Doncaster city centre and Balby, giving residents convenient access to employment, shopping, transport and everyday amenities. Doncaster Council's own locality plan highlights the area's connections to the transport network, local facilities and community support, alongside its proximity to the city centre.
One of the neighbourhood's biggest assets is Hexthorpe Park, also known as Hexthorpe Flatts. Far more than simply an area of open space, the park includes toddler and junior play areas, playing fields, a skate park, BMX track, tennis courts, multi-use games area, bowling green, sports pitches and Doncaster's only public bird aviary. There are also woodland and nature walks through the historic Dell, with routes connecting towards the River Don, Trans Pennine Trail and Sprotbrough Falls.
There is a strong community element too. In July 2026, Hexthorpe Flatts hosted the first Hexthorpe Gala, with family activities alongside the Hexthorpe in Bloom awards celebrating local gardens, allotments, streets and community champions. A free guided discovery walk and brass-band concert in The Dell is also scheduled as part of Doncaster's September 2026 Heritage Open Days programme.
For tenants, that combination of affordability, green space, local amenities and proximity to the city centre can make the area particularly practical for families and people working in and around Doncaster.
Local schools
Families have a number of education options within the surrounding area. Hexthorpe Primary School on Urban Road is rated Good by Ofsted following its November 2023 inspection, while Balby Central Primary Academy is also rated Good, following its March 2024 inspection.
Other education options can be found across central Doncaster and the wider DN4 area.
As school inspection frameworks, admissions and catchment areas can change, buyers should verify the latest information directly with Ofsted, the relevant school and the local authority.
Excellent access to Doncaster and beyond
For tenants who don't work locally, Doncaster's transport connections add another important dimension to the investment. Doncaster sits on the East Coast Main Line, with rail journeys of approximately 25 minutes
to Sheffield and York, 40 minutes to Leeds and around 90 minutes to London according to City of Doncaster Council.
The city is also well positioned for the wider road network, providing access towards the A1(M) and M18 and onwards across South Yorkshire.
