- Chain free one-bedroom back-to-back cottage
- Enclosed patio with timber shed for storage
- Open-plan living room and kitchen layout
- Decent double bedroom and larger-than-average bathroom
- PVC double glazing and mains-gas combi boiler
- Small overall size (c.467 sq ft) and small plot
- Built before 1900; walls assumed uninsulated (may need upgrades)
- Located in a deprived area with above-average crime
A compact, characterful back-to-back cottage offering chain-free ownership and easy access to Barnoldswick town centre. The open-plan ground floor creates a handy, low-maintenance living space, while a double bedroom and unusually large three-piece bathroom make the layout unexpectedly comfortable for the size. The enclosed patio and timber shed are valuable extras for secure outdoor storage.
Practical systems include PVC double glazing and a mains-gas Viessmann combi boiler feeding radiators, which help keep running costs down. The property is freehold and council tax is very cheap, which will appeal to cost-conscious first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity.
Important considerations: the cottage is small at c.467 sq ft with a small plot, and built before 1900 from sandstone/limestone — walls are assumed uninsulated, so additional insulation or upgrading may be needed. The wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels; buyers should factor local social conditions into their plans.
Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the cottage’s scale and storage benefits. For someone seeking a compact, low-upkeep home or a rental investment close to local shops and transport, this property offers usable space and solid basics but may need improvements to insulation or other modern comforts.
