Set on Doncaster Road in Barnsley, this two-double-bedroom end terrace offers a straightforward, affordable entry into the housing market or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. The property is chain free and freehold, with good commuter links to the M1 and easy access to Barnsley town centre, hospital, parks and local schools.
The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period character in the brickwork and internal features. Accommodation includes a medium-sized living room with original floorboards and fireplace, two double bedrooms and a rear yard. Mains gas boiler and radiators are in place and windows are double glazed (install date unknown).
The home does require updating and some renovation—cosmetic modernisation is needed throughout, and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated. The plot is small and the local area scores high for crime and very high for deprivation, which will affect resale values and tenant demand. Council tax is very low, and the property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, which supports modern renting or working from home.
For first-time buyers this is a low-price, high-potential purchase to personalise and improve over time. For landlords, the size, location near town and transport links make it a viable let, but factor in refurbishment costs and local market risks when calculating yields.
