Set in a quiet Whitworth street, this Victorian end cottage offers generous living across four levels, totaling approximately 1,235 sqft. The home combines period character — a stone facade and bay window — with practical updates, including quality fixtures, a fitted kitchen/diner, utility area and working log burners in each reception room. A large attic room provides flexible space for a home office, playroom or occasional guest room.
Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed, low‑maintenance private garden and easy access to Healey Dell nature reserve and local schools, making it suited to families who value outdoor walks and village amenities. Connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; council tax is noted as very cheap, supporting affordable ongoing costs.
Important practical notes: the property is sold leasehold with around 880 years remaining, so long-term tenure is secure but it is not freehold. Internal inspection shows some ceiling mould in the living room that will need addressing. The accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and may be less suitable for those with mobility needs. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and flexible potential in person.
