Character-filled period cottage with large garden and stone annex, chain free.
Grade II listed early-18th century stone cottage
A surprising Grade II listed stone cottage in the sought-after hamlet of Totties, set within a conservation area between Scholes and New Mill. The house dates from the early 1700s and retains genuine period character — exposed timbers, stonework and a pitched slate roof — while offering a large lounge, separate dining kitchen and six rooms in total including a substantial attic bedroom.
The plot includes a generous enclosed rear garden, off-street parking and a substantial stone outbuilding/annex with its own shower room and WC — useful as a workshop, home office or potential ancillary accommodation subject to consents. The property is chain-free and freehold which simplifies purchase logistics.
Important practical points: the cottage needs renovation and updating throughout, and its Grade II listed status will affect the scope and cost of works and require listed-building consents for many changes. The heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; energy rating 59 (Band D). Council tax band C and no flood risk are additional positives for family purchasers.
This is a character-filled home for a buyer who values history and space and is prepared to invest in sympathetic improvement. Its location in a quiet hamlet with good schools nearby and fast broadband makes it suitable for family living, flexible working and long-term value if refurbished with care.
