A bay‑windowed two-bedroom mid‑terrace in Barrow town centre, offered chain‑free and ready for a new owner. The house retains period character and benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing, making it livable immediately while also offering clear scope for cosmetic updating.
Ground floor accommodation includes a lounge with bay window and feature fireplace, a dining room with access to a rear yard, and a compact kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a three‑piece family bathroom. The property is a manageable size (approximately 676 sq ft) suitable for rental or owner-occupation.
Location is a primary value driver: town centre shops, buses, Barrow train station and large local employer BAE Systems are all within easy walking distance. Council Tax is low and services (gas, electric, water, drainage) are connected, which supports an uncomplicated set‑up for tenants or a first home buyer.
Important considerations: the house sits in an area with very high crime rates and very high deprivation indicators, and the plot is very small with on‑street parking only. The property needs modernization in parts and will suit buyers prepared to refurbish rather than those seeking a turnkey finish. Investors should factor local demand and rental yields against area risk factors.
