Sheffield is approximately 12 miles to the south and Leeds approximately 18 miles to the north.

The Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley has a population of 231,900 people (2011 UK Census). SITUATION The property is situated less than one mile to the north of Barnsley town centre within a popular and well established residential area. Victoria Crescent is located just off the A635 Huddersfield Road, and is close to Barnsley College. The property is particularly convenient for access to the town centre and also potentially benefits from strong commuting links to both Leeds and Sheffield. DESCRIPTION The property comprises a substantial three storey period building with linking two storey building to the rear and a standalone bungalow. All the premises have been converted to create residential accommodation including one studio unit, 4 two bedroom flats and 10 single bedroom apartments. The main building has an attractive stone built front elevation, with the other elevations being rendered and the building has a pitched blue slate roof. The rear buildings have similar rendered walls beneath pitched slate roofs. The accommodation was originally converted for residential use in the 1980’s and over subsequent years has been maintained in good decorative order and many of the bathrooms and kitchens have been upgraded. All the units have gas central heating with their own boilers, and most have fitted bedroom furniture. In general the space is very comfortable although it is likely that a buyer will wish to invest further monies in updating some of the accommodation to more current standards. Outside the property includes surfaced car parks to the front and rear of the site which have parking for about 12 cars. There is a mature garden to the front of the main building.
