This property at Old Mill Lane, Barnsley, presents a mixed picture. It’s a four-bedroom house in a reasonably convenient location. Its proximity to the train station and several schools makes it appealing to families and commuters. However, the photos reveal the property is in need of extensive renovation work. The interior features outdated fixtures, worn flooring and carpets, damaged plaster in places, and generally requires a complete refurbishment. The exterior, whilst appearing structurally sound from the pictures provided, benefits from minimal curb appeal, and offers only limited external space.

The listing price of £135,000 needs careful consideration. Four-bedroom houses can achieve this price in Barnsley, particularly those in good condition. However, given the significant renovation the property requires, the asking price might be high. A thorough survey and realistic cost estimates for repairs are essential before making any decisions. Potential buyers should budget for substantial improvement costs to ensure this property reaches its full value. The lack of detailed information regarding plot size and garden dimensions prevents a more detailed analysis of the potential to increase value through improvements to the external areas. The potential exists for a strong return on investment if the works are carried out to a high standard, however, the significant works needed require cautious consideration of any offer placed

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
