This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Crookes Street offers a straightforward investment or first-home opportunity close to Barnsley town centre. The property has gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a compact, low-maintenance rear yard. Accommodation includes lounge with fireplace, kitchen with cellar access, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom.
The house is best suited to buyers willing to modernise. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated; updating fixtures, finishes and floor coverings will improve rental appeal and resale value. The small cellar and former external toilet limit usable outdoor/storage space but the brick-paved yard is easy to maintain.
Location and running costs are strong selling points: immediate walking distance to shops, buses and schools, very cheap council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the property sits in a high-crime, very deprived neighbourhood and occupies a very small plot — factors that can affect tenant demand and valuations and should be considered by owner-occupiers.
Overall this freehold terrace suits investors seeking a low-entry purchase to refurbish and rent, or a buyer wanting an affordable starter home with scope to improve. Viewings will suit those who prioritise location and affordability over immediate turnkey condition.
