This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Carlton Road offers an affordable entry into Barnsley with clear potential for a buyer wanting to add value. Priced at £85,000 and offered freehold, the home suits first-time purchasers or hands-on investors prepared to renovate. Accommodation totals about 673 sq ft over two storeys with conventional rooms, a small enclosed rear garden and a gated forecourt to the front.
The property requires renovation throughout: flooring and finishes are dated, the living room shows wear, and the kitchen and bathroom will benefit from updating. Services include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and double glazing of unknown age; the EPC is D. Practical positives are low council tax (band A), no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for working from home or letting.
Location offers everyday convenience with shops, a Tesco Express and local amenities nearby, plus good public transport links and a cluster of primary schools rated Good. The immediate area is classified as deprived and the local neighbourhood profile is social renters and multi-ethnic professionals with families; crime is average. These factors affect resale and lettings but also keep purchase prices and entry costs low.
Important factual points: there is a public notice of a prior offer (repo/public-notice present) so buyers should be aware of competing offers. The house is best for buyers willing to carry out refurbishment work rather than those seeking a move-in-ready home. For a budget-conscious buyer, this property represents a clear renovation opportunity with scope to personalise and improve value over time.
