This exceptional three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached family home occupies a prominent position overlooking Barrow Park to the rear and opposite the playing fields of Furness Academy, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in one of Barrow's most desirable and convenient locations. Ideally situated within easy reach of Barrow town centre, the railway station, well-regarded schools, regular bus routes and Barrow Park Leisure Centre, the property perfectly combines period charm with everyday convenience. Lovingly maintained and sympathetically improved by the current owners, the home retains an abundance of original Victorian features, including decorative cornicing, picture rails, dado rails, original-style fireplaces and attractive flooring, all of which enhance its character while blending seamlessly with modern upgrades. Set back from the road, the property enjoys a front garden laid moistly to lawn with gated access to an ample driveway providing off-road parking and extends along the side of the property to a detached garage. To the rear is a fully enclosed garden, with lawn and mature trees, plants and shrubs, benefiting from the privacy afforded by the park beyond.

A feature log-effect gas fire provides an attractive focal point to the room. A second spacious reception room offers excellent versatility as either a sitting or formal dining room and features a gas fire with an Italian marble surround. Glazed French doors open into a uPVC conservatory, creating an ideal space to relax while enjoying views over the garden and providing direct access outside. The modern breakfast kitchen is well-appointed with a comprehensive range of fitted base and wall units, integrated appliances and convenient access to the side of the property.
