This substantial Victorian detached townhouse on Victoria Road offers striking period character and exceptional space across three floors. High ceilings, intricate plasterwork, stained glass and multiple original fireplaces create a rare, grand family home with strong curb appeal. A self-contained three-bedroom annex with private access adds genuine flexibility — ideal for extended family use or rental income.
The accommodation is very large (approximately 6,532 sq ft) with four reception rooms, five bathrooms, a large living kitchen, home office, craft room, and a versatile outbuilding/workshop. Outside features include a landscaped, south-facing elevated decking area, artificial lawn, pebbled sections and a sizable driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
Buyers should note this property is offered by Modern Auction: sale is subject to reserve, buyer’s fees apply, and a non-refundable reservation fee will be payable on exchange. The building dates from 1900–1929 and is likely to need some modernisation and ongoing maintenance (walls assumed to be uninsulated). Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Set close to Barnsley town centre with good transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the house suits large families seeking space and character or investors wanting an annex for income. The area shows signs of economic constraint and recorded very high local crime—prospective purchasers should assess security and local conditions as part of due diligence.
