Description

This two-bedroom terraced house in a residential area south of Carlisle is offered as a refurbishment project. The ground floor has a hallway, a dual-aspect living room, a kitchen area that has been stripped out, and a side passage with access to the front and rear. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a paved front garden and a driveway providing off-road parking. The rear garden is also paved and terraced, with an outbuilding that has power and a water supply. The property has no central heating, although a combination boiler is fitted. The absence of a kitchen may make mortgage finance difficult, so buyers should check their funding options and verify the property details before proceeding.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £70,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced at about £91/sq ft, well below the local average of £160/sq ft—a strong acquisition point for a buyer able to purchase without finance. The score is C: the price and headline economics are compelling, but the amount of work makes this a substantial project rather than an easy value-add. The £20,000–£38,000 renovation range gives a sense of the likely scope; the £99,000 midpoint total is below the implied current local average value, but that is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.

There is a clear canvas to fit a new kitchen, refresh the dated finishes and flooring, and reclaim the overgrown paved garden. The living room and bathroom appear usable, while the driveway, rear outbuilding with power and water, and generally intact-looking frontage add useful features. The listing also says there is no central heating, and the roof and fabric cannot be confirmed from ground-level photographs.

Key opportunities

  • Fit a new kitchen in the stripped-back kitchen area and finish the exposed surfaces to suit the next owner's layout and specification.
  • Refresh the living room and bedrooms with new decoration and flooring, building on a living room and bathroom that appear intact.
  • Clear and improve the paved rear garden, with a driveway at the front and a rear outbuilding supplied with power and water.

Key risks

  • The stripped kitchen, lack of central heating, worn finishes and overgrown garden make this a substantial programme; allow for the £20,000–£38,000 works range rather than budgeting for a cosmetic refresh.
