This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable step onto the property ladder in Barrow. At around 560 sq ft the layout is straightforward — reception, open-plan dining space, kitchen and a first-floor bathroom — all presented in good order for immediate occupation.
The house benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and a small walled, gated rear yard that provides private outdoor space. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong in the area.
Constructed circa 1900–1929 from solid brick, the property may lack modern cavity wall insulation and could benefit from targeted energy upgrades to reduce running costs. The surrounding area is a working-class terrace neighbourhood with higher deprivation and constrained rental demand; this makes the home affordable but means buyers should expect local socio-economic challenges.
For first-time buyers this is a practical, well-presented starter home close to shops, transport links and several good-rated primary and secondary schools. Investors may also see potential for rental income given location characteristics, though condition and local market dynamics should be weighed carefully.
