A top-floor two-bedroom apartment in central Barnsley offering low-maintenance living and convenient transport links. The flat benefits from allocated off-street parking, a balcony, and recent electrical and heating upgrades, making it move-in ready for a first home or buy-to-let purchase.
Internally the layout is compact (approximately 434 sq ft) but well arranged: a bright lounge, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two bedrooms and a loft accessed by ladder for extra storage. The vendor reports a full rewire and new carpeting in 2023, new bedroom laminate in 2023 and new radiators installed in 2025.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: leasehold with 104 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £100 and a monthly service charge of £140. Council tax is low, but the service charge and ground rent should be factored into monthly affordability calculations.
Considerations include the apartment’s small overall size and a local crime rate described as above average; buyers seeking more space or quieter streets may prefer other areas. For first-time buyers or investors wanting a central, low-maintenance property with recent upgrades, this offers a straightforward purchase with potential rental appeal.
