This two-bedroom stone terrace on Nicholas Street combines period charm with practical living space in central Barnsley. Two generous reception rooms and a separate kitchen provide flexible layout options for everyday family life or rental occupancy. The private rear courtyard and basement add useful outdoor and storage space, with the basement offering scope for conversion subject to consents.
Built around 1900–1929, the house retains character features and solid masonry elevations that give strong kerb appeal. The property is compact but well-proportioned across approximately 687 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are in place, supporting comfortable year-round use.
There are important practical considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates and limited external amenity space. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the home may benefit from internal modernisation to upgrade finishes and energy performance. On-street parking only; no private driveway.
This house will appeal to first-time buyers seeking character within walking distance of local shops, schools and transport, or investors looking for a compact, rentable property close to town facilities. It offers a straightforward canvas for improvement while delivering immediate, usable accommodation.
