This Victorian mid-terrace on Chambers Street offers compact, affordable living in central Workington — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking entry-level value. The house is freehold, double-glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, with a fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a flexible attic room that can serve as a second bedroom or home office.
Accommodation is arranged over three storeys with a generous living/dining room to the front, kitchen at the rear and an enclosed yard. The overall footprint is modest (approx. 969 sq ft) with small external amenity; Council Tax is very low, and local transport, shops and schools are within easy reach.
Be clear about the drawbacks: the property sits in a very high-crime, very deprived neighbourhood, and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated. Images and notes indicate possible damp issues and generally low ceilings in places; some buyers will want to budget for investigation and repairs or further energy-efficiency work.
At £70,000 this house represents a low-cost purchase with short-term rental potential or a starter-home opportunity for someone prepared to accept limited outdoor space and the need for targeted maintenance. Viewing is recommended to assess the condition and the attic-room layout in person.
