Summary - 15 DOVE HILL ROYSTON BARNSLEY S71 4BX
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Three-bed renovation with garden and driveway ideal for investors.
Freehold three-bedroom Edwardian terraced house with attic bedroom
Offered at auction, this freehold three-bedroom terraced house in Royston presents a clear opportunity for investors or developers willing to renovate. The property retains period character, generous room sizes and an unusually large attic bedroom, plus off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden — useful for rental appeal or resale after works.
The house is structurally traditional Edwardian solid-brick construction with double glazing and mains gas heating. Practical positives include driveway parking, a good-sized garden, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for tenants and lettings. Local amenities, shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are close by, supporting long-term rental demand from families.
Significant work is required: the rear elevation and yard show run-down elements, plaster damage and possible damp which will need inspection and repair. The property likely lacks wall insulation (solid walls), so upgrading heating and thermal performance will be a cost consideration. The area is rated very deprived with above-average crime, which will affect rental values and buyer pool.
This property is sold by Modern Method of Auction. Bidders must allow a 56-day completion, pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600), and meet other auction costs and ID/funding checks. There is an undisclosed reserve price — carry out full due diligence and factor auction fees and renovation costs into any offer.
