Two double bedrooms with compact living and dining kitchen
Private enclosed paved rear yard, low maintenance outdoor space
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace; traditional charm, modest ceilings
Requires cosmetic updating and likely insulation improvements
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated (increased heating costs)
On-street parking (permit likely) and small forecourt to front
Area close to city centre, shops, transport and University of Cumbria
Higher-than-average local crime rate; area shows relative deprivation
This traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace on Delagoa Street offers a straightforward, affordable route into Carlisle’s rental and owner-occupier market. The property has a compact living room, an open-plan dining kitchen, a ground-floor bathroom and a private paved rear yard — practical spaces that suit first-time buyers or landlords seeking a lettable city-centre unit close to the University of Cumbria.
The house is freehold, gas‑heated via boiler and radiators, and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown). Its Victorian brick façade and simple layout mean the building’s character is intact, while the internal condition appears tidy but dated; modest cosmetic updating and possible kitchen/bathroom modernisation would improve comfort and market value. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and could benefit from improvement work to reduce running costs.
Location is a key strength: city-centre shops, public transport, primary schools and the university are within easy reach, supporting strong rental demand from students and early-career professionals. Broadband and mobile reception are good. On-street parking (permit likely required) and a small forecourt add practicality for urban living.
Notable considerations: the local area shows higher-than-average crime and a degree of deprivation, which affects long-term capital growth in parts of the postcode. The plot is small and there are no notable external views. Buyers should factor in likely refurbishment costs (cosmetic and insulation improvements) to unlock full value. For an investor or first-time buyer wanting a low-entry-price property in a well-connected part of Carlisle, this offers clear potential once modernised.
