Central Victorian terrace needing renovation — good value for developers and landlords.
Four bedrooms over two floors — potential multi-let or family conversion
A large Victorian mid-terrace in central Barrow-in-Furness offered with vacant possession and clear development potential. The house has practical room layout — lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility and four bedrooms over two floors — suitable for conversion or rental to local workers. Its proximity to the town centre and major employer BAE strengthens tenant demand and short-term lettings potential.
The property has working central heating and mostly double glazing but is a renovation project throughout. The sale price reflects the required updating: cosmetic and likely electrical/plumbing works, a single bathroom for four bedrooms, and general modernisation are needed. The small rear yard limits outdoor space but is low-maintenance.
This is a clear acquisition for developers or landlords prepared to invest time and money. High local crime rates and an area classed as very deprived mean rental yields may be attractive but may also require targeted management and tenant screening. Vacant possession and freehold tenure simplify a quick refurbishment or conversion programme.
Buyers should allow budget for full refurbishment and safety compliance (electrics, heating checks, possible damp or structural attention typical of period terraced homes). The property’s low asking price and central location offer upside once renovated.
