Rooms to Rent in Ulverston, furnished, bills included

Ulverston has a high street, a canal and the coast, with the Lake District nearby. Our 2 September 2026 SpareRoom count found 8 priced adverts in Ulverston, compared with 127 in Barrow. That small sample describes one portal on one day; it does not measure how easy it is to find a room across the whole market.

What we offer

We let furnished rooms across the Furness area to working professionals and contractors — people at BAE Systems, Furness General Hospital, Ørsted, Centrica, Siemens and local firms. Every room comes with a double bed, wardrobe, desk and TV; every home has a modern kitchen, living room, washing machine and on-street parking; and the price — from £135 a week — includes gas, electricity, water, council tax and Wi-Fi. We own and manage the homes ourselves, so there are no agency fees. The video tours show example interiors, without indicating current availability.

Tell us Ulverston is your preferred town, where you’ll be working and when you would like to move on the interest list. We’ll contact you if a room suits your requirements. You can also compare nearby Dalton.

Getting to work from Ulverston

Start with the particular room and your confirmed workplace entrance, rather than a town-wide journey time. Compare the complete trip for both the start and end of your shift, including the walk to the stop or station, connections and the final walk.

Destination	What to check
BAE Systems, Barrow shipyard	Check Ulverston to Barrow trains for your working days, then the onward journey to the entrance your employer specifies. Barrow station is not the shipyard gate.
Furness General Hospital	Choose a bus journey that explicitly calls at Furness General Hospital. Hospital calls vary between journeys; a service towards Barrow does not by itself confirm a hospital stop.
Dalton-in-Furness and Barrow town centre	Compare the dated rail timetable with the relevant bus stops. Check the return journey separately, especially after a late shift or on Sundays.
Lancaster and onward rail connections	Use your actual travel date and allow for any changes, the connection and travel between the room and station.

Use Northern's journey planner for train times, changes and calling points, and its Ulverston station information for facilities and access. Check current disruption information before travelling.

The published Stagecoach 6/6A/X6 timetable covers the Ulverston, Dalton and Barrow corridor. Stops and operating days vary: read the individual journey column, its notes and the timetable for the correct day. The hospital's travel guidance also links to journey-planning services.

If driving, check a route from the particular room to your workplace entrance at your shift times, including traffic, parking arrangements and the walk from the car park. Confirm access arrangements with your employer before choosing where to live.

Transport sources reviewed 15 October 2026. Check the operator's current timetable and updates for your travel date; no fixed room-to-work travel time is promised here.

Ulverston has its own station on the Furness Line and its own employers — Siemens, the Oxley Group, the hospital and college feeder roles, and the town centre — as well as being the commuter town for the yard.
