A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Barnsley town centre, this freehold two-bedroom house combines period character with a recently fitted kitchen and practical outdoor space. The compact, comfortably arranged rooms include a reception with a feature fireplace, two cosy bedrooms and an attic room off the first-floor landing that offers extra storage or a small study. The property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, and an EPC reported as D.
The location is a major selling point: immediate access to shops, buses and other town-centre amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for commuters or those working from home. Being chain-free and council tax band A keeps transaction and ongoing costs low. The small, well-maintained rear garden provides usable outdoor space uncommon for some town-centre terraces.
Buyers should note material local-area factors plainly. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels; this will influence day-to-day living and rental demand. The stone-built walls are likely uninsulated (original construction before 1900), and the age of the double glazing is not confirmed, so there may be future improvement costs to raise thermal efficiency. Room sizes are average to compact, totalling about 773 sq ft, so this property suits buyers who prioritise location and low running costs over expansive living space.
For first-time buyers, it’s an affordable, move-in-ready entry to homeownership with immediate convenience. Investors should weigh rental demand in a constrained-renter local market and factor in area deprivation and security considerations when assessing yields or tenant profiles.
