Compact central home with low running costs and rental appeal.
Victorian mid-terrace, two bedrooms and two reception rooms
This compact mid-terrace Victorian townhouse offers practical two-bedroom accommodation close to shops, schools and transport links in Barrow-in-Furness. Recent redecoration and double glazing provide a tidy, move-in-ready feel, while an EPC rating of C and mains gas central heating keep running costs reasonable.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen and a first-floor bathroom with two well-proportioned bedrooms above. The house is small (approx. 582 sq ft) and sits directly onto the pavement with on-street parking, so outdoor space is limited to a likely small rear yard.
Location is the principal draw for buyers seeking commuter convenience or rental demand; several primary and secondary schools are nearby and local amenities are plentiful. The property’s compact rooms and efficient heating make it suitable for a first-time buyer, a small family wanting proximity to town, or a landlord targeting the local rental market.
Buyers should note material negatives: the neighbourhood records very high crime and very high area deprivation, which will affect resale and lettability in some market segments. The plot is very small, the street-facing position offers no off-street parking, and while recent cosmetic work is reported, further modernisation may be needed to maximise value in this area.
