Set in the heart of Whitehaven, this two-bedroom maisonette offers straightforward buy-to-let appeal or a compact town-centre home for downsizers. The layout across two floors delivers good natural light, two generous reception rooms and a modern shower room — practical rooms that will attract tenants or owners seeking low-maintenance central living.
Practical details support an investor case: mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a council tax band that keeps running costs low. The property is leasehold with a modest annual ground rent, and access from Scotch Street places shops, cafes, transport links and the harbour within easy walking distance.
Buyers should factor in the building age and local context. The property was constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls likely uninsulated, and the EPC is D; upgrading insulation and glazing could reduce bills and add rental value. The wider area shows high crime and significant deprivation indicators — important for rental strategy and insurance costs.
Overall this maisonette suits a hands-on investor or buyer prepared to spend modestly on thermal and cosmetic improvements to lift returns. It presents a clear, affordable entry to Whitehaven town-centre property with immediate rental potential, provided purchasers make informed decisions about lease length, local area factors and necessary modernisation.
