Summary - 30, Newton Street, BARNSLEY S70 6DA
3 bed 2 bath Flat
Period two-flat freehold with c.9% yield, walking distance to Barnsley town centre.
Two self-contained flats: 1-bed ground, 2-bed first
A substantial period end-terrace converted into two self-contained flats, offered as a freehold investment with an advertised gross return of about 9% (currently producing £13,800 pa). The building is fully let on assured shorthold tenancies and benefits from separate utilities for each flat, which simplifies management and billing.
Both units have double glazing, new combi boilers and radiators, and mains gas central heating—practical upgrades that reduce immediate capital expenditure. The ground-floor one-bed and first-floor two-bed both include lounge, fitted kitchen and bathrooms; EPCs are C and D with scope for improvement through further energy works.
The location is a short walk to Barnsley town centre and local transport links, making the flats attractive to local renters and new private-renting arrivals. The property’s Victorian stone construction is solid and characterful, offering potential uplift through internal refurbishment and redecoration.
Material negatives: the area is flagged as very deprived with a high local crime score, which can affect tenant demand and yield stability. The terrace has visible exterior wear and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further investment may be needed to reach higher EPC bands and improve tenant comfort. Outdoor amenity is limited to a small enclosed rear yard and on-street parking only.
