A chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace within walking distance of Barrow town centre, this compact home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a quick move. The property offers two reception rooms on the ground floor, an open-plan lounge/diner and a good-sized kitchen with direct access to a rear yard and large utility/garage.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom off the landing. The interior is neutrally finished in white throughout and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The small plot and modest footprint make this an affordable entry into the market; council tax is in Band A.
Important practical points: the mid-terrace is a period brick property with pebble-dash render and shows signs of age, so targeted updating or refurbishment will be needed to modernise finishes. The cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which could affect heating costs. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with constrained rental demand, so buyers should factor local market conditions into investment plans.
For buyers prioritising location and value, the property’s no-chain status, garage/utility space and proximity to schools and town amenities are genuine strengths. For those needing a turnkey home, some refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements will be required.
