The property is located in Market Square, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria. It is an end of terrace property with a plot size of 2,006.39 sqft and 1,361.63 sqft of internal space. The list price is £150,000.

The property is situated in a convenient location within walking distance of Kirkby Stephen town centre. This offers easy access to local amenities, including shops, and transportation links (Kirkby Stephen train station is 3.04km away). There are also two well-regarded schools nearby (Kirkby Stephen Primary School and Kirkby Stephen Grammar School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) within a short distance, making it an attractive location for families.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of significant renovation. The interior shows exposed floorboards, bare walls, and outdated fixtures. While the structure seems sound, considerable work would be required to bring it up to a modern standard. The property retains some period features, such as the fireplaces, which could be restored to enhance its character.

The property benefits from a small plot of land, which may offer some outdoor space, though the images suggest it is largely undeveloped. More information on the specific nature of the outdoor space would be needed for a more detailed assessment.

Considering the average house price in the area is £635,000 and the average price per sqft is £559, the list price of £150,000 for this property appears to be significantly below average. However, this needs to be considered in the context of the property’s condition. The extensive renovation required will likely offset the low purchase price, meaning the overall cost could still be comparable to other properties in the area once renovations are factored in. A detailed cost estimate for the renovation would be needed to determine the true value for money.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
