Set on Bond Road in Barnsley, this roomy three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house suits families seeking generous living space and scope to personalise. The property’s large reception rooms — including a substantial dining room and a cosy lounge with an original-style fireplace — make it easy to host meals and relax together. A practical cellar adds useful storage or hobby space, while a modern bathroom saves immediate renovation work.
Built 1983–1990 with later double glazing, the home benefits from mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The modest, low-maintenance rear garden and useful side path provide outdoor privacy, and nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding make the location family-friendly. On-street parking is readily available and council tax is described as cheap.
Buyers should note some material issues: the EPC is rated E and parts of the interior show dated finishes and signs of damp in places, so energy and maintenance improvements will be advisable. The house offers clear scope for refurbishment to improve efficiency and update fittings — a realistic project for buyers wanting to add value and tailor the layout.
Overall, this property combines period character and spacious rooms with practical modern touches and strong local amenities. It will appeal to families who want space now and the opportunity to modernise over time.
