Large garage and double block-paved driveway, ample off-street parking
Low-maintenance rear garden with deck, pergola, and AstroTurf

Small overall footprint and plot — better for small families or downsizers
Located in a deprived area with above-average local crime statistics
This detached three-bedroom house on South Close offers a compact, well-presented family layout with practical outdoor space and generous parking. The living room and open-plan kitchen/diner provide versatile everyday living, while the master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes for easy storage. A modern fitted bathroom completes the accommodation on the first floor.
Outside the plot is low-maintenance and private: a decked patio with pergola, AstroTurf lawn and slate borders make for easy gardening and informal entertaining. The double block-paved drive and a larger-than-average garage provide useful vehicle storage and off-street parking for several cars — a real benefit in this area.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC is D65, so running costs will be higher than gas-heated homes. The property sits in a more deprived neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics; buyers should factor neighbourhood context and insurance costs into their decision. The overall footprint and plot are modest, suited to a small family or downsizer rather than those needing large living spaces.
Local conveniences are strong: nearby primary and secondary schools with good Ofsted ratings, regular bus routes into Barnsley, and quick access to the M1. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent, which supports home working or streaming. For buyers seeking a ready-to-move detached home with low garden maintenance and ample parking, this presents clear practical appeal; for those wanting high energy efficiency or a larger plot, further investment would be required.
