Summary - 26 SOUTH YORKSHIRE BUILDINGS SILKSTONE COMMON BARNSLEY S75 4RJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bed former miners’ cottage with gardens, parking and easy commuter links.
Two double bedrooms with period features and high skirtings
A charming former miners’ cottage, this two-bedroom terraced home blends period character with recent practical upgrades. High skirtings, a cast-iron fireplace and original proportions sit alongside new double-glazed windows and recent damp-proofing, making it a manageable, characterful first home.
The ground floor offers a cosy front lounge and a spacious dining kitchen with integrated appliances and French doors out to a private rear garden. There are two good-sized bedrooms and a traditionally styled bathroom with roll-top bath on the first floor. Externally the property unusually benefits from two private gardens and off-street parking directly in front — rare for this row.
Occupying a quiet position on the edge of Silkstone Common, the house is close to a well-regarded primary school, local amenities and the train station for commuter links. Council tax is low (Band A), crime is very low and the setting suits buyers seeking a peaceful village edge location with countryside walks nearby.
Practical points to note: the building is an early 20th-century solid-brick terrace, so walls are likely uninsulated and further loft or wall insulation could improve comfort and running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow locally. Overall this is a solid, well-maintained period home with scope for modest energy-efficiency improvements — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting character and easy access to transport and schools.
