A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in central Barrow, offered at a low entry price and currently producing rental income. The property sits on Rawlinson Street close to shops, schools and local transport, making it straightforward to let to local renters or to refurbish and re-let.
The ground floor has two reception rooms, a kitchen and a family bathroom; upstairs are two modest bedrooms. A walled, gated yard provides secure outdoor space. Constructed early 20th century with solid brick walls and pre-2002 double glazing, the house retains period character but will need updating to modern standards.
Sold freehold and offered with the tenant in place or vacant, this is a flexible purchase for investors seeking a low-cost buy-to-let or a small renovation project. Note practical drawbacks: the property is small (approximately 611 sq ft), in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates, and the building likely lacks wall insulation. Expect cosmetic and possible systems upgrades (heating already by mains gas boiler and radiators). Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
For an investor, the combination of price, central location and immediate tenancy option represents clear upside after refurbishment. For buyers seeking a family home, accept that rooms are modest and the area is urban and busier than suburban neighbourhoods.
