This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers straightforward, affordable entry to Barnsley with immediate vacant possession and no upper chain. Located within easy walking distance of Barnsley town centre, the hospital and Junction 37 of the M1, it suits first-time buyers and investors seeking a practical home or rental with good transport links.
The ground floor features a bay-fronted lounge with original fireplace and a generous kitchen-diner that opens to a private, enclosed rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a house bathroom; the rear bedroom houses useful fitted storage and the combination boiler. The property is freehold, council tax band A and around 625 sq ft, so running costs are likely to be modest.
Notable positives include off-street parking, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and the potential to modernise or extend (subject to consents) to add value. The characterful 1930s build retains period features such as the bay window and internal doors, which will appeal to buyers who appreciate traditional detail.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the brick cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, the double glazing install date is unknown, and some updating may be required to bring kitchens or bathrooms to contemporary standards. The plot is small and the area records higher local crime rates, so consider security and outdoor space expectations when viewing.
