This end-terrace Victorian house on Anchor Road offers a compact, well-presented layout across two storeys, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into Barrow-in-Furness. The property comprises a lounge, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom, with a small enclosed rear yard and gated access. Total internal area is around 645 sq ft, so space is efficient rather than generous.
Practical running costs are favourable: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing (installation date unknown) and low council tax (Band A). The house is on a corner plot within a city/major town setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for home working or tenants. Local primary schools nearby are rated Good by Ofsted, and public transport plus shops are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the area’s wider context: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with blue-collar terraces and an audience of social renters. The property’s small overall size and compact rooms may suit couples, young families starting out, or landlords targeting the local rental market rather than buyers seeking larger accommodation. Although described as well presented, potential purchasers should budget for any updating they prefer, and check the age and servicing history of the boiler, glazing and electrics during survey and conveyancing.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, low-cost home in a convenient town location. It offers immediate occupation or rental potential, but buyers should be realistic about size and local area factors when comparing to alternatives.
