A compact two-bedroom terraced house on Fore Street, Barton, offering an affordable retirement option close to local shops and amenities. The property measures approximately 326 sq ft across two storeys and includes a small footprint with street parking and solar panels that can help reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and the area records low crime and no flood risk.
Internally the house is dated and compact: small rooms, limited natural light to the living room, and mid-20th-century finishes. This makes the home straightforward to update but means there is little scope for extension or major reconfiguration without external works. Prospective buyers should note the property has a very small plot and tight room sizes, so it suits those seeking low-maintenance living rather than large-family space.
This property is being marketed with an option for Over-60s to use the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise. Typical Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £117,250 (average saving c.33% against the full market price of £175,000), with the exact price dependent on age and circumstances. If you prefer to buy outright, the market price is £175,000; all buyers must verify tenure and lease details with their solicitor.
Practical positives include solar panels, street parking, good digital connectivity and proximity to local services and several primary and secondary schools. Drawbacks are the compact overall size, dated interior requiring refurbishment, very small outdoor space, and the property’s location in a very deprived area, which may affect long-term resale prospects.
