Description

Why Settle For A Tiny Old Terrace With A Yard When You Could Have This Spacious Family Home With Bi-Fold Doors To A Proper Garden. From the new kitchen-diner to the stylish shower room, this 1960’s 3-bed shows how to unlock a property's true potential.
This late 1960s mid-terrace has been transformed into a bright, open-plan home that feels bigger, lighter and far more family-friendly than the average town-centre terrace.
The kitchen and dining room have been opened up into one flowing space, now connected to the lounge by internal bi-fold doors. The result is a flexible layout that suits both busy family life and easy entertaining. 
The second set of bi-folds opens onto a full-width deck and low maintenance garden. It’s private and practical, with a paved patio seating area, a small patch of artificial lawn and off-street parking behind double gates.
The kitchen's been upgraded with new worktops and tiling. The bathroom’s now a sleek and stylish shower room, complete with feature lighting that adds a touch of boutique hotel luxury.
All three bedrooms are genuine doubles so there should be no box room squabbles. 
Cumberland Street is less than ten minutes walk into town. It’s so handy for work, shopping or socialising. And if you do have a car there’s plenty of on street parking, in additional to the off street parking at the rear.
If you do have young children, Victoria Junior School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only two streets away. Victoria Infants is only five minutes further away.
For older kids, St Joseph’s Catholic High School is less than 10 minutes walk. Workington Academy is a little further away - but still well within walking distance.
This is what happens when a spacious terrace with plenty of potential gets the high quality updates it deserves.
I’m expecting plenty of interest so call now to arrange a viewing.

Rent ratio 0.5%
Max investor price (0.8%) £93,750
Target investor price (1%) £75,000
Gross yield 6%
Cost-to-rent ratio 16.7×
Monthly cashflow £59/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
  • ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
