Summary - 4 ROCKINGHAM COURT BARNSLEY S71 1HL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern two-bed near town centre, ideal starter or rental opportunity.
Well-presented purpose-built first-floor apartment
A well-presented first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in a modern red-brick block close to Barnsley town centre. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from integrated appliances and twin French doors to a Juliette balcony, while the property includes an allocated parking space and central heating with a C-rated EPC. Built 2003–2006, the flat offers low-maintenance city living for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with about 94–95 years remaining on the lease, annual service charges of £1,137.96 and a £250 ground rent. The apartment is compact (approx. 450 sq ft) so space is best suited to singles or couples rather than families needing generous room sizes.
This lot is being sold at traditional auction. Bidders must exchange immediately and complete within 28 days, pay a non-refundable 10% deposit on exchange, and a Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, minimum £6,600) if successful. A Buyer Information Pack fee of £349 is payable before bidding. These auction terms can materially affect affordability and timing.
The wider location is urban and shows higher crime levels and relative deprivation, so buyers should factor local amenity and resale considerations into their plans. Positively, transport links, nearby schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding) and excellent mobile signal make the flat practical for commuting or letting. Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance starter home or investment with clear running costs and auction-related obligations to consider.
