This three-bedroom mid-terrace in S70 offers a practical, move-in ready starter home within easy walking distance of Barnsley town centre, shops and the hospital. The extended ground floor creates a more spacious living and dining area than many similar terraces, and the low-maintenance rear garden is ideal for outdoor time without heavy upkeep.
The top-floor main bedroom is a welcoming feature with an exposed brick wall and good wardrobe space; two further bedrooms suit children, a home office or guests. Heating is by mains gas boiler and the house benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown). The property is freehold and has modest running costs, including very low council tax.
Buyers should be aware of several material points: the house sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate and a local profile of constrained rental demand. The stone external walls are as-built with no known cavity insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for wall insulation or related upgrades. The rear garden and plot are small, and there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms.
This home will suit first-time buyers seeking affordability and proximity to amenities, or investors aware of the local rental and area limitations. It presents a solid, livable base with sensible improvement potential rather than a high-end renovation project.
