Summary - 50, Kensington Road S75 2SS
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period house with modern basement, large plot and EV charging.
Five double bedrooms across three storeys
An impressive 1902 detached Edwardian home offering 3,250 sq ft of family living across three floors. The house combines original period features — sash bay windows, decorative coving and multiple original fireplaces — with a high-spec recent refurbishment, giving generous reception space, a spectacular open-plan living breakfast kitchen and a newly converted basement with utility, games room and gym. The wrap-around tiered garden, private Indian stone driveway and wall-mounted EV charger add practical modern conveniences.
Layout and scale suit growing families: five double bedrooms, three bathrooms (two with freestanding baths), three reception rooms and flexible second-floor landing ideal for a home office. The principal rooms have high ceilings and large windows that maximise light; quality fittings include granite worktops, bespoke shaker cabinetry and integrated appliances in the kitchen. The basement conversion adds valuable versatile space for leisure or work-from-home use.
Location is a strong selling point — set in the established Old Town area within walking distance of Barnsley town centre, schools, hospital and transport links. Broadband and mobile signals are reported strong and the plot provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles behind wrought-iron gates.
Buyers should note some practical factors: the property sits in council tax band E (above-average running costs) and, as with any large period house, ongoing maintenance typical of older buildings should be expected despite the recent renovations. Crime is reported as average for the area and the local demographic trends towards older, established communities.
