This compact two-bedroom stone cottage combines period character with recent, thoughtful renovation — ideal for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing. The living space is cosy but well planned: a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances flows into a lounge with an original inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. Vaulted ceilings and exposed oak beams upstairs give the principal bedroom a strong sense of character and light.
The property is freehold, offered with vacant possession, and sits on a small, low-maintenance private front garden with artificial turf and gravel seating. Practical details include gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and on-street parking (no permit required). Council Tax Band A and a small footprint help keep running costs low.
There are a few material considerations to note. Total internal area is small (approximately 592 sq ft) and the EPC is E. The property is in an area with higher crime levels than average, which may affect some buyers’ decisions. One recently opened internal wall currently creates a larger master suite but the vendor can reinstate the second bedroom wall by agreement, restoring the original two-bedroom layout.
In short, this newly renovated cottage offers character, modern fixtures and location convenience close to Meltham village amenities and well-rated local primary schools. It will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home who are comfortable with a compact floorplan and an urban-edge setting.
