An affordable, freehold Victorian mid-terrace ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors priced at £85,000. The house offers two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a private rear yard, arranged over a compact 786 sq ft layout with period features such as a fireplace and bay window.
Internally the property is presented in largely liveable condition but would benefit from targeted updating to kitchen, bathrooms and insulation to improve comfort and running costs. The home has double glazing fitted before 2002, cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and an indicated energy rating of C.
Location is convenient for local shops, schools and transport links in Barrow-in-Furness, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Practicalities include on-street parking, a very small rear plot, medium flood risk and very low local crime. The house sits in an area of higher deprivation, which may affect long-term growth compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
This is a straightforward stepping-stone property: low council tax, compact rooms typical of terraced stock, and clear potential to add value through modest refurbishment and energy improvements. Buyers should factor in possible improvement costs and the medium flood risk when deciding to view.
