Characterful one-bedroom buy-to-let near Eccleshill amenities and good broadband.
Grade II listed cottage with original beams and mullion windows
A compact Grade II listed stone cottage in Eccleshill village, presented as a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The property retains period character—exposed beams, mullion windows and a stone fireplace—which helps attract tenants seeking character accommodation. At roughly 700 sq ft it offers one double bedroom, a generous bathroom, dining kitchen and a lounge, plus a small paved patio yard.
This property suits an investor prepared to work within listed-building constraints. The house benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband; nearby amenities, schools and transport links support steady tenant demand. Council tax is very low, which improves the affordability profile for occupants.
Important legal and maintenance points affect value: the building is Grade II listed (any alterations need consent) and over 50% of the property extends over a neighbouring barn, creating a flying freehold. The stone walls likely lack internal insulation and the low ceilings and period features limit extensive modernisation without listed-consent complications. Crime in the area is above average, which may influence tenant mix and rental levels.
For an investor who understands listed-property management and accepts the flying freehold, this cottage offers character-led rental appeal and scope for sensitive improvements that respect its historic fabric. Buyers looking for a simple, low-maintenance rental with strong village amenities will find good potential here; those wanting a turnkey modern home should note the restrictions and possible retrofit costs.
