A compact Grade II listed former mill cottage with genuine character and high ceilings, offered freehold and well suited to a first-time buyer or downsizer. The open-plan ground floor and large arched windows create a bright, loft-style living space; photos show a modern fitted kitchen and tidy finishes throughout. The property is set directly onto the roadside with a small walled forecourt and room for one vehicle — residents’ off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Buyers should note material constraints: the listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations and can complicate maintenance. The building has solid brick walls (assumed without insulation) and uses electric room heaters, so heating costs and retrofit work may be significant. There is very limited external space and no garden, and the accommodation is best for a single occupant or couple rather than a growing family.
Location benefits include close proximity to local shops, bus routes, and supermarkets, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Flood risk is low and mobile signal is excellent; however the wider area has higher crime levels and notable deprivation, which may concern some buyers. Overall, this is a characterful, compact freehold home with upgrade potential for those comfortable with listed-building ownership and modest urban living.
