This traditional Victorian stone mid-terrace offers a clear renovation opportunity in a convenient Whaley Bridge location. The compact two-bedroom layout is practical for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market or buyers wanting a straightforward project to add value.
Internally the house is ready for modernisation: a front sitting room, rear fitted kitchen with dining area, and two bedrooms above. The property already has double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the stone walls are likely uninsulated and the interior shows dated fittings and general wear — further upgrades will be needed to bring standards up and improve energy performance.
Outside, a flagged terrace leads down to a good-sized rear garden with distant views — a useful asset for outdoor living or extension subject to checks. The property footprint and garden are modest, typical of older terraces, and the rear garden is currently overgrown and will require maintenance.
Location is a major positive: minutes from Whaley Bridge town centre with shops, good primary and secondary schools, canal and countryside walks, plus excellent bus and rail commuter links. Practical considerations: the house is small (571 sq ft), in a town-fringe setting where street noise can occur, and local crime statistics are above average. Council tax is relatively low and there is no flooding risk recorded.
