This modern three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a sensible first step onto the property ladder with freehold tenure and off-street parking. At around 980 sq ft the house feels deceptively spacious, with a long lounge, generous kitchen-diner and three bedrooms arranged over two floors — good practical space for a growing household or sharers.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a low-maintenance rear garden and very cheap council tax (Band A). The location sits on the fringe of Barnsley town centre with easy access to shops, schools, the M1 and Barnsley Interchange — useful for commuting and everyday errands.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the property is in a deprived area with a high local crime rate, the plot is small, broadband speeds are reported as very slow and there is just one bathroom. The build date (1996–2002) and assumed cavity insulation are positives, but services and appliances have not been tested — a buyer survey is recommended.
For a first-time buyer or small family seeking affordable, ready-to-live-in accommodation close to transport links, this house represents good value. Expect some trade-offs in local area statistics and connectivity; priced around £140,000 it suits purchasers prioritising price, space and commute convenience over neighbourhood quiet and high-speed broadband.
