I can't really find anything else in Barrow In Furness suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
