Offered at a low guide price, this two-bedroom first-floor flat presents a clear purchase opportunity for investors or cash-ready buyers prepared to use the auction route. The property includes a large garden, mains gas central heating, double glazing and approximately 625 sq ft of internal space—suitable for rental or light refurbishment to add value.
The flat is leasehold with about 116 years remaining and is being sold via a Modern Method of Auction. Prospective buyers must allow for an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, subject to minimums) and additional buyer charges – confirm exact sums with the auction pack before bidding.
The location is practical for commuting (easy access to the M1 and Barnsley town centre) and has fast broadband plus nearby schools with strong Ofsted ratings. However, the neighbourhood indicators show high crime and significant local deprivation; these factors will affect rental demand, resale prospects and personal security considerations.
Buyers should carry out full due diligence: check the lease pack, service and appliance condition, and commission a survey. The property may suit a hands-on investor seeking a low-entry purchase or a buyer willing to complete minor updates and manage rental lets from a modest base.
