Priced at £59,950 and offered chain-free, this two-bedroom mid-terrace presents a clear investment opportunity in Barrow town centre. The property’s central location is close to shops, bus routes and the railway station, making it straightforward to let to commuters, students or local workers. Two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and gas central heating plus double glazing offer straightforward appeal to tenants once updated.
The house will suit investors or buyers comfortable with a value-add project. The interior is presented in neutral tones but needs modernization to maximise rent or resale value; there is external wear to render and window sills. The rear has a small enclosed yard with a lean-to utility shed and plumbing for a washing machine — useful practical space but not a garden for leisure.
Important negatives are factual: the property sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, and the plot is very small. The bathroom is accessed via bedroom two, which may reduce rental appeal for sharers or family use. These factors affect achievable rents and tenant profiles and should be factored into refurbishment and pricing plans.
For the right buyer — an investor looking for a low-entry purchase in a transport-linked location or a buyer willing to refurbish — this terraced house offers straightforward potential. Improvements to the kitchen, bathroom reconfiguration and external repairs are the most direct ways to increase value and rental income.
