This red sandstone terraced townhouse in Castletown, Penrith, offers genuine entry-level opportunity for first-time buyers or investors. The house retains period character—bay window, mid-century fireplace and arched alcoves—while providing practical space across three floors including a potential master suite on the top floor.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, family bathroom, and three bedrooms. A garage and small driveway give useful off-street parking; the rear garden is modest and low-maintenance. The property benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and an EPC currently rated D with potential to reach B after improvements.
The home needs modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom renewal, and general refurbishment will be required to unlock full value. There is a pedestrian right of way across the back garden to a neighbour, which should be accepted by buyers. Note the local area records higher-than-average crime — consider security improvements as part of any renovation.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located terrace with scope to personalise and improve. For purchasers seeking a project with convenient access to Penrith town centre, nearby good schools, and strong rental or resale potential, this property provides a solid canvas.
