Enclosed rear garden; very small plot with paved area and AstroTurf

Located within walking distance of town centre, schools, transport
Area classified as deprived with higher local crime rates
This compact two-bedroom house sits within easy walking distance of Barnsley town centre, local schools and transport links. The stone façade and period proportions give immediate kerb appeal, while gas central heating and double glazing provide basic comfort. The property is freehold and priced low, making it accessible for a first-time buyer seeking a starter home or a buyer prepared to add value.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge, kitchen, cellar, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. The living room and kitchen are functional but show wear — dated decor, paint and plaster issues — so cosmetic and some structural attention will be needed. The loft space and cellar offer storage or conversion potential subject to survey and permissions.
Outside there is a very small enclosed rear garden with a paved seating area and artificial lawn, gated to the rear access. Note the area is classified as deprived with relatively high local crime rates; buyers should factor local context and insurance considerations into their decision. Walls are likely uninsulated (original sandstone/limestone construction), which could influence future energy efficiency upgrades.
This is a value-led purchase: low council tax banding, mains services, and close proximity to amenities make it attractive for cash-conscious buyers. It will suit someone comfortable with a modest floor area (approx. 480 sq ft) and willing to carry out modernization works to unlock potential or secure decent rental income.
