This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on Oxford Street, just on the edge of Barnsley town centre, offering easy access to shops, buses and commuter links. The property includes a large garage accessed from the rear garden and off-street parking — practical features for daily life and storage.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a shower room, with part-boarded loft storage. At about 808 sq ft the house feels deceptively spacious for its footprint and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband connectivity.
Buyers should note the house is built 1950–66 with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation and heating currently by room electric heaters. These factors, along with a very deprived local area and high local crime levels, are material considerations for owner-occupiers and investors. The property is freehold with council tax band B.
This home suits a range of purchasers: a first-time buyer seeking central location and scope to improve, or an investor targeting rental demand in a constrained-renter neighbourhood. A sensible survey will be important to quantify any insulation, heating or maintenance works before committing.
