This double-fronted semi offers generous rooms and original Victorian character across approximately 1,006 sq ft. With two double bedrooms, a large lounge with original fireplace and a dining kitchen that opens to a useful cellar, the layout feels spacious and practical for first-time buyers or a small family. The paved, low-maintenance front yard and on-street parking add convenience without ongoing garden work.
The house dates from around 1890 and retains period features such as coving and a decorative ceiling rose. It benefits from mains gas central heating and UPVC double glazing (install date unknown), plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical strengths for modern living and commuting. Offered freehold and chain-free, the property is close to local amenities, schools and Oakwell Hall Country Park.
Important considerations: the building’s original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so some thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. The area has a higher crime rate and local deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. Overall, this is a character-rich home with clear potential for improvement rather than a fully modernised finish.
