Summary - 25 FILEY AVENUE ROYSTON BARNSLEY S71 4PZ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact, low-cost starter home near schools, shops and transport links.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached, ~591 sq ft
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Filey Avenue offers an affordable entry into Royston or a simple buy-to-let prospect. The property is compact at about 591 sq ft, with a lounge, kitchen/diner, rear porch, shower room and an enclosed rear garden — practical spaces for a first home or tenant rental. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby amenities add everyday convenience.
The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period brickwork and a traditional layout. It has mains gas central heating, double glazing (unknown install date) and is offered freehold. Local primary and secondary schools rated Good are within easy reach, and transport links and shops are close by, supporting family life or rental demand.
Buyers should be clear about the work and context: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime and is a small plot. The walls are solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation; the EPC is D. Cosmetic updating, possible insulation improvements and general modernisation will be needed to raise comfort, energy efficiency and long-term value.
For first-time buyers this is a low-price opportunity to get on the ladder with manageable renovation scope. For investors it presents a straightforward lettable layout in a location with strong rental demand drivers, though lettings and yields should be assessed against local area risks and potential repair costs.
