This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home is aimed at first-time buyers seeking a straightforward move. The property is freehold, offered with no upper vendor chain, and sits close to Locke Park with good public transport and commuter links into Barnsley and beyond. Internally the layout is practical: a bright reception room, a contemporary kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom, all within an average-sized 638 sq ft footprint.
Outdoor space is modest but useful: a small private garden and a dedicated garden office provide a distinct work-from-home advantage. The house benefits from double glazing (fitted since 2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband — useful for remote working or studying. Local schools rated Good and Outstanding are within reach, adding family appeal.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the plot is small, some finishes (an older oven and carpets) look dated and may need upgrading, and the area records above-average crime and high local deprivation. The property dates from the 1930–49 period, so prospective purchasers should consider survey checks for age-related maintenance.
Overall this home offers an affordable entry to the market with practical living space, good connectivity and a ready-made garden workspace. It suits first-time buyers or those looking to downsize who prioritise location, connectivity and a quick purchase process.
