This deceptively spacious Victorian end-terrace is offered freehold and chain-free, presenting a ready-to-move-in home or a straightforward buy-to-let. High ceilings, original fireplaces and a log-burning stove add period character, while a contemporary fitted kitchen and shower room keep daily life practical. Two first-floor bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and pleasant views towards Dent Fell.
A large loft room accessed from the landing provides genuine extra space and stunning fell views — ideal as a guest room, playroom or home office. The rear covered yard is low-maintenance but the plot is very small, so outdoor space is limited. The house was built before 1900 and the stone walls are likely uninsulated; there is double glazing but installation date is unknown. EPC rating D.
Location suits first-time buyers, couples and investors: town-centre amenities are within walking distance, with Whitehaven and Egremont a short drive away. The property gives easy access to western lakes, fells and nearby coastline. Practical points: mains gas boiler and radiators, mains utilities, no flood risk, average broadband and mobile signal, and very low council tax.
The area is classified as socio-economically deprived, which may affect rental demand profiles and resale comparables. Overall, this is a characterful, well-presented home with loft potential and modest running costs, best for buyers seeking period features with some scope for energy improvements.
