This traditional stone-built mid-terrace cottage offers character and immediate move-in potential for first-time buyers. Decorated in neutral tones, the house feels light and surprisingly spacious throughout its compact footprint (approx. 702 sq ft). Two double bedrooms, fitted storage and a sizeable lounge with an electric stove deliver comfortable everyday living.
The kitchen-diner provides practical workspace and space for a small table, with a stable door to a west-facing, low-maintenance enclosed courtyard — a private outdoor spot for evening sun. The property is freehold and chain-free, with mains gas central heating, double glazing and very low council tax, supporting affordable running costs.
Note the property’s limits: the plot and rooms are modest in scale, parking is on-street only, and the terrace dates from before 1900 with stone walls that are assumed uninsulated. Neighbouring houses have a right of access across the rear courtyard for maintenance. The location is in an area described as deprived with above-average crime levels, which buyers should weigh against the cottage’s conveniences.
Location is a clear strength: the centre of Meltham is walkable for shops, cafés and schools, and the Peak District countryside is a short stroll away. Commuter routes and Marsden train station (TransPennine) are within easy reach, making this a practical starter home for those who value character and proximity to outdoor recreation.
