This 1930s semi-detached home sits on a larger-than-average plot with front and rear gardens, a driveway and a detached single garage. Inside are two reception rooms, a conservatory, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom across an average-sized 834 sq ft layout. The property is freehold and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators.
The house will suit families or first-time buyers seeking space and scope to personalise: period bay windows, traditional fireplaces and good room proportions give character and renovation potential. Local schools include several rated Good, and the area has convenient shops and fast bus links into Barnsley town centre.
Buyers should note the home shows dated decor and some original fixtures; the living room description references single-glazed windows and interior finishes that may need updating. Double glazing was installed before 2002, and a survey is recommended to check services and any hidden maintenance needs.
Practical factors to weigh: the property falls in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, and the wider neighbourhood is classified as challenged. Council tax band A keeps running costs low. A thorough viewing and independent inspection are essential to assess condition and long-term suitability.
