This two-bedroom mid-terrace stone property has been refreshed with a new roof, replacement double-glazed windows and a modern bathroom, making it an economical move-in option for a first-time buyer or a straightforward buy-to-let for an investor. The living room retains period character with high ceilings and a feature fireplace, while the rear dining kitchen provides practical space and direct access to a small, enclosed yard.
Practical extras include a useful cellar for storage, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband availability. The location is a short walk from Barnsley town centre with shops, transport links and several well-rated schools within reach — convenient for commuting or letting to local tenants.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels, the rear plot is very small, and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation (typical of the era). Tenure is stated as freehold in the brochure but prospective purchasers should verify title and boundaries through their solicitor before exchange.
Overall this Victorian terrace offers a low-maintenance, affordable entry into Barnsley’s housing market with clear potential for rental yield or modest cosmetic updating to increase value. Early viewings are recommended for first-time buyers or investors seeking a compact, centrally located property.
