A tidy two-bedroom Victorian terrace presented as a practical first home or straightforward buy-to-let. The current owner has kept the property well maintained: a recent damp proof course has been completed and the boiler is fully serviced and still under warranty, helping reduce immediate maintenance costs. The house is freehold and move-in ready, with the unusual benefit of an off-street rear parking space — a rare convenience for similar properties.
Location is a genuine selling point: short walking distance to Barnsley town centre, local amenities and Barnsley FC’s stadium, with excellent access to the M1 for commuters. Nearby primary and secondary schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings, and local facilities include shops, pubs, a station and leisure amenities.
Buyers should note material local drawbacks: the area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels than average. The plot and rooms are modest in size, and the property reflects a compact Victorian terraced layout rather than larger modern family accommodation. These factors affect resale and rental expectations but keep the purchase price low and council tax very cheap.
Overall this property suits someone seeking an affordable, low-entry home or a pragmatic rental purchase in a well-connected part of Barnsley. It offers immediate usability with limited short-term maintenance, while buyers prepared to accept the local area profile can benefit from the location and low running costs.
