This two‑bed mid‑terrace on Andover Street offers an affordable entry into Barrow‑in‑Furness close to local shops, schools and public transport. The home has a reception room, separate dining room, kitchen, family bathroom with separate toilet, and a small walled rear yard with outbuildings for storage. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and the property is sold freehold.
Period features and recent double glazing give the house character while helping with heat retention. The compact 561 sq ft layout suits a first purchaser, young couple or investor seeking a straightforward rental. Good local schools nearby and excellent mobile and fast broadband make the location practical for everyday life.
Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived area of predominantly blue‑collar terraces; local socio‑economic indicators are below average. Heating appears to rely on portable electric units in most rooms and main fuel is a dual fuel mix (mineral + wood), so improvements to the fixed heating system and insulation would be prudent. Cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, presenting an upgrade opportunity to reduce bills.
Externally the terrace shows signs of wear consistent with its construction era (c.1900–1929); while the interior is described as well presented, some maintenance and modernisation might be required. There is no flooding risk recorded. Virtual viewing is available for an initial inspection.
