House hits the market for bargain £30,000 – but there’s a massive hole in the wall

A spacious terraced house could be yours for the bargain price of £30,000 – you’ll just need to deal with a massive hole in a wall.

This is just one of the many issues that have resulted in the low price of the two-bed terraced house in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, which will be sold via auction.

As well as the hole, which appears to be in a bedroom, there’s also a ceiling that’s partially caved in and flooring that’s no longer in place.

But on the plus side, there is an admittedly large bathroom that could well have been used as a garden at one point because it’s filled with soil.

There is also miscellaneous rubbish scattered throughout the house, so the new owner will almost certainly have to invest in a skip.

The description reads: “A larger than expected, 2 bedroom terraced home, in need of renovations throughout.

“To the ground floor there is a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and access to the cellar.

“Upstairs on the first floor is a spacious double bedroom and large family bathroom.

“Up a further stairway is the well-sized attic bedroom.

“To the rear of the property is a small enclosed garden, accessed via the kitchen.

“On-street parking is available on nearby side streets.

“Located in Cudworth, this property enjoys the perfect balance of community spirit and countryside serenity.

“The area boasts easy access to shops, essential amenities, and link roads, making it ideal for families or professionals.

“Surrounded by picturesque landscapes and yet close to the vibrant Barnsley centre, Cudworth offers a quality of life that is both peaceful and connected.”

The estate agent estimates that once renovated, the property could fetch a rental income of £700 a month, so this may also be a great investment opportunity.

It is also worth noting that the bids will start from £30,000 at auction, and once sold, the buyer will have an additional administration fee of £1,200 and a buyer’s premium fee of £1,200 to pay.

That being said, the average house in the area sells for £179,924, so this very much remains a bargain.

The property – which features on What’s The Jam – is set to go to auction on 18 March.
