A solid Victorian mid-terrace close to Carlisle city centre, offered freehold and with no onward chain. The house offers two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a generous rear yard with a brick outhouse that has power and water — useful for storage or conversion. The property’s solid brick construction and original cast-iron fireplaces retain period character while presenting clear scope for updating.
This home suits investors or first-time buyers willing to carry out refurbishment. The kitchen appears serviceable but dated and would benefit from modernization; the bathroom is a full four-piece suite but is from an earlier era. There is assumed lack of wall insulation in the original solid walls, which may affect heating costs until addressed.
Practical positives include mains gas heating, double glazing, on-street resident permit parking and fast broadband. Important local context: the area is classified as very deprived with relatively high crime levels, so buyers should weigh rental or resale prospects accordingly. Flood risk is low and council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
