This stone-fronted Victorian mid-terrace offers two double bedrooms and surprisingly generous living space for its type. Recently redecorated and recarpeted throughout, the property is move-in ready with a contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom, making it well suited to first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential.
Highlights include a full-depth lounge/diner with plenty of natural light, a useful cellar for storage, and a private south-facing rear garden with paved patio and lawn. The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a combination boiler housed in the airing cupboard.
Buyers should note material local-context issues: the area is described as very deprived with higher local crime rates, and the property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. The plot is modest with a very small front forecourt and a compact rear garden compared with larger suburban houses. These factors may affect running costs and resale/rental pricing but also present opportunities for targeted energy upgrades and value-adding improvements.
Overall, this deceptively spacious terrace offers good starter-home value close to Barnsley town centre, schools and transport links. For buyers prioritising location and ready-to-live-in accommodation, it represents a practical, affordable option with potential for further improvement.
