A characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage on a very large plot in sought-after Appley Bridge. The stone façade and traditional proportions give immediate kerb appeal, while internal space of circa 1,519 sq ft provides flexible living across multiple rooms. The property includes off-street parking for several vehicles and two substantial detached brick outbuildings that offer clear development potential, subject to planning permission.
The accommodation requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; this is reflected in the price and presents scope to add value. The core services are mains gas heating to radiators and double glazing, but the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the Energy Performance Rating is E. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, although mobile signal is excellent.
Outside, the rear garden is low-maintenance at present but sizeable enough for landscaping, lawn or extension works. The two large outbuildings could be repurposed as workshops, studios or additional living space if the necessary permissions are obtained — a rare opportunity on a plot of this scale.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and long-term potential: families who want space and schools nearby, renovators targeting uplift, or buyers wanting a countryside-feel location with strong transport links. Be aware of renovation costs, potential insulation and energy improvements, and the need to secure planning for any outbuilding conversion.
