Summary - 86 CASTLEREAGH STREET BARNSLEY S70 1BA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bedroom with garden and strong rental potential.
Freehold two-bedroom terrace priced at £85,000
Set on Castlereagh Street close to Barnsley town centre, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable route into the local market or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The property is freehold, priced at £85,000, and sits within easy reach of transport links, shops and amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical benefits for tenants or first-time buyers.
The house retains Victorian character externally and has a high-ceilinged living room with a fireplace and floorboards, but the interior is dated and shows wear. Rooms are compact and will benefit from updating to meet modern expectations. There is a small garden and a low-maintenance frontage, but the overall plot is limited.
Important negatives are factual and should influence viewing decisions: the local area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels, and the neighbourhood profile is described as constrained renters/hampered aspiration. Prospective owners should factor potential resale or letting challenges and consider security and local management needs.
For buyers prepared to invest in cosmetic and functional improvements, the property offers clear potential — low council tax, no flood risk and proximity to schools and local services strengthen its appeal. It suits first-time buyers seeking an entry-level home or investors targeting city-edge rentals, provided they allow for refurbishment and local market realities.
