Set on an unusually large plot for the area, this three-bedroom detached house in Wombwell offers significant scope for enlargement or remodelling. The property is a blank canvas: solid 1970s construction with double glazing and gas central heating, ready for a sympathetic renovation to create a modern family home.
Outside, the site is a major asset. A large double garage and generous off-street parking provide space for multiple vehicles, trailers or hobbies. The rear garden adjoins the Trans Pennine Trail, giving immediate access to green space, walking and cycling routes and a quieter outlook than many town-fringe locations.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, affordable council tax and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The location suits commuters with good routes to Barnsley, Doncaster and the M1, while nearby schools have strong Ofsted ratings.
The house does require renovation throughout and should be considered a project. Walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation; updates to interior finishes, heating efficiency and general modernisation will be needed. Crime statistics in the local area are above average, which prospective buyers should factor into any plans.
