Compact city‑centre two‑bed ideal for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors..
End-terrace freehold, approx. 496 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom end-terrace in the heart of Carlisle, this small freehold property offers simple, low‑maintenance living and immediate rental potential. The open-plan ground floor and modern high‑gloss kitchen create an efficient layout suited to a first-time buyer or a buy‑to‑let investor looking for a city‑centre, easily managed asset.
Practical comforts include double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and two external storage units. The home has been successfully let for several years and is offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward to move in or re-let quickly. Residents’ permit parking is available close by and the city centre, shops and transport links are within a five‑minute walk.
Important negatives are factual and should influence budgeting: the overall footprint is small (approx. 496 sq ft) and room sizes are modest; the building is traditional solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; the neighbourhood has high crime and very high area deprivation which may affect rental demand and insurance costs; EPC shown as D. The property will suit buyers seeking a low‑upkeep central home or investors prepared to price for and manage the local market challenges.
Given the size and location, this is best for a first‑time buyer wanting a central starter home or a landlord targeting city‑centre lets. Buyers should factor in potential improvements (insulation, cosmetic updates) and the local market context when assessing long‑term return or comfort.
