Summary - 3 FRIARS ROAD LUNDWOOD BARNSLEY S71 5NE
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Renovation project with off-street parking and sizeable outbuilding — strong value-add potential.
Three-bedroom semi-detached home, freehold
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Friars Road is a straightforward renovation project with clear scope for added value. Set on a small corner plot, the property includes front and rear gardens, a driveway for off-street parking and a large outbuilding useful for storage or a workshop. Basic recent upgrades include secondary/double glazing and a mains-gas boiler with radiators already in place.
Internally the home follows a mid-20th-century layout across approximately 843 sq ft: ground-floor lounge, kitchen, bathroom and side porch with WC, plus three first-floor bedrooms. The kitchen and sanitary areas are dated and require full modernisation; the property is described as needing renovation throughout. Walls are cavity-built with no added insulation assumed, so insulating and updating services will improve comfort and running costs.
Location factors will suit investors or buyers aiming to add value rather than those seeking a turnkey family home. The wider area is classed as young, hard-pressed families with high local deprivation and elevated crime levels; nearby primary schools have good Ofsted ratings and local amenities are within reach. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average.
Buyers should budget for modernisation work (kitchen, bathrooms, internal redecoration) and consider insulation and energy-efficiency improvements. The property’s freehold tenure, off-street parking and outbuilding add practical benefits for future rental or resale once upgraded.
