2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Beautifully renovated weaver's cottage with valley views, chain-free and move-in ready.
Chain-free Grade II listed cottage with restored character features
Set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of Diggle, this newly renovated Grade II listed weaver's cottage offers character features and far-reaching Saddleworth valley views. The current owner completed extensive works including a full re-roof with guarantees, full re-wire with certification, new kitchen, bathroom and en-suite, refurbished windows, and a new wood burner — providing a largely move-in condition rural home. The property is chain-free and freehold, with very low local crime and inexpensive council tax (Band A).
The cottage is arranged over three storeys. The open-plan ground floor living area showcases exposed stonework, a wood-burning stove and wooden floors for cosy evenings. A compact rustic kitchen provides modern appliances and farmhouse styling but is small in footprint. On the first floor is a sizable bedroom and a modern shower room; the second floor features a vaulted bedroom with exposed beams, mullion windows and an en-suite that takes full advantage of the views.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home uses spring-fed water with a filtration system housed in an outbuilding, drainage to a septic tank, and gas central heating with a recently installed boiler. There is a patio seating area to the front and a decent plot size for a hamlet property. Note that the Grade II listed status will bring restrictions and possible added cost for future alterations or repairs.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful countryside retreat or downsizers wanting a low-maintenance, renovated home close to village amenities. It’s a short drive to Uppermill and Greenfield station for commuting, and local primary schools are highly rated. A personal viewing is recommended to appreciate the finish and the valley outlook.
