This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical, high-yield buy-to-let opportunity in Barrow-in-Furness. Layout includes lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower/utility, family bathroom and a large loft room — useful for storage or conversion subject to consent. The property is sold freehold with vacant possession.
Interior retains period character such as a stone fireplace and coved ceilings but needs modernization in places: carpets, some dated fittings and general updating will be required to maximise rental value. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed but predates 2002.
Important practical points for investors: the house is compact with a small rear yard and a modest frontage. Walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction which may affect energy performance and running costs. The local area is classified as very deprived and crime levels are very high — factors that can influence tenant demand and rental return but also support an affordable purchase price and potentially strong yields.
Viewing is recommended for buyers seeking an entry-level investment or a refurbishment project in a central town location, close to schools and local amenities. Short-term works could make the property rentable quickly; longer-term improvement (insulation, modern kitchen/bathrooms, decor) will increase capital value and appeal.
