This two-bedroom mid-terrace in central Barnsley offers straightforward, chain-free purchase and clear buy-to-let appeal. The ground floor's open-plan layout and two double bedrooms upstairs suit renters, young professionals or first-time buyers seeking simple, low-maintenance living close to town.
The property totals about 754 sq ft and was built around 1900–1929 with a traditional stone facade. It benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and very low council tax, which supports rental affordability. Local amenities, good schools and parks are within easy walking distance, and transport links are strong.
Material considerations are set out plainly. Rooms are generally small, the plot is small with no garden or garage, and the house requires modernization in parts. External walls are stone with no known insulation (assumed), and the area shows high crime rates and wider deprivation — factors likely to affect tenant demand and insurance costs.
For an investor or buyer willing to refurbish, this property is a low-entry-cost opportunity in a rental-demand area. Budget for updating, potential insulation works and security considerations to maximise long-term returns.
