3 bedroom semi-detached house

DESCRIPTION

Believed to have been constructed just under 100 years ago, and having been in the same family ownership for over 60 years, this characterful, brick built, semi-detached family home enjoys an excellent setting on this ever popular avenue, its location offering great commuter links along with easy access to both the town centre and Barnsley District General Hospital. This is very much what we like to refer to as a "proper house" as it retains many original features and, having been extended to the rear from its original design, it provides extremely well proportioned accommodation throughout which is complemented by simply stunning, generously proportioned and private rear gardens, an absolute haven for local wildlife. With gas heating and uPVC double glazing, the accommodation provided extends to spacious Reception Hall, bay-windowed Lounge, Dining/Sitting Room, Breakfast Kitchen, three first floor Bedrooms and Shower Room.
