4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious historic home in cobbled Whitworth Square, close to schools and countryside.
Grade II listed Georgian detached house, freehold and chain-free
A rare Grade II listed, detached Georgian house set in a cobbled village square, offered with no onward chain. The property extends to around 2,133 sq ft and currently provides two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast/snug, storage and guest WC on the ground floor, with four double bedrooms (principal with en-suite) across the upper floors. The home retains strong period character and a Historic England plaque, positioned close to local shops, pubs and countryside walks.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, off-street parking to the side and rear, plus additional land opposite currently used as gardens. That land presents potential to extend garden or, subject to planning permission, convert to a driveway or garage to increase parking. Nearby schools are rated Good and Rochdale town centre is within easy reach for wider transport links.
Important considerations: the listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate works or modernisation, and the property may require sympathetic upkeep to preserve historic fabric. The plot is relatively small and council tax banding is above average. Buyers should factor in potential costs and planning restraints when considering refurbishment or conversion projects.
