A distinctive three-bedroom Victorian terrace set close to Barnsley town centre, offered at a realistic price for buyers prepared to renovate. The house has period brickwork, original chimney features and a cellar, with an existing rear extension and enclosed rear garden. Accommodation is arranged over two storeys and totals approximately 1,033 sq ft.
The property requires full modernisation: kitchen, bathroom and general decorative and repair works are needed. Heating is via a back boiler on a Baxi coal-effect fire and services have not been recently verified, so expect upgrade costs. The small plot and modest room sizes suit buyers who prioritise location and purchase price rather than expansive outdoor space.
This home will suit cash buyers, landlords or DIY-minded purchasers aiming to add value through sensible refurbishment. The nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings and the house is within walking distance of local shops, bus links and town-centre amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area.
Be aware the property is in a very deprived neighbourhood with higher local crime levels; factor security and long-term local market considerations into any plans. Tenure is freehold and council tax band A keeps running costs low. An EPC and floorplan are awaited—survey recommended before exchange.
