A compact mid-terrace terraced house on Dale Street offering clear upside for an investor or buyer seeking a renovation project. The layout includes an open-plan lounge/dining room, kitchen with useful understairs storage, a utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, plus three bedrooms and a small shower room upstairs. An enclosed rear yard provides secure outdoor space and gated access to the service lane.
The property is offered freehold at a low entry price, with very cheap Council Tax (Band A). Practical positives include generous lounge proportions and a recently plastered utility room — useful foundations for a refurbishment. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Important negatives must be clear: the house needs substantial modernisation throughout, with reported damp and mould in the living area and general dated fittings. The location has above-average crime and the site is in a high flood-risk zone, both of which materially affect insurance, mortgage options and resale. EPC rating will follow and should be checked before purchase.
This is a sensible buy for someone prepared to manage renovation and flood mitigation — a landlord or hands-on investor looking to add value in a deprived, industrious pocket of Ulverston. For buyers seeking a turnkey home or low-risk residential purchase, this will likely require too much immediate work and cost to be suitable.
