Tucked on the edge of Ripponden, this stone-built Victorian cottage offers cottage character, generous outside space and off-street parking for two. The layout includes a double bedroom, a single and a versatile extra room upstairs that could be a study, nursery or occasional guest space. High ceilings and dual-aspect windows enhance the feeling of space in an average-sized home of around 529 sq ft.
Sold via the Modern Method of Auction, the sale is designed for a quick transaction. Important sale conditions include a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349). Buyers using mortgage finance should check lender suitability before bidding and allow for the 56-day completion window.
The property is structurally attractive with sandstone walls and double glazing fitted after 2002; gas central heating serves the home via boiler and radiators. The large, private garden and elevated valley views are standout features for those seeking outdoor space in a village setting. Off-road parking for two cars is a rare practical benefit here.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: the property likely has no wall insulation (as-built sandstone) and will benefit from modernisation to optimise energy performance and finish. Steps to access and a multi-storey layout mean it is not suitable for buyers with restricted mobility. Building safety and planning histories are recorded as unknown, so buyers should review the provided documentation closely.
Overall this cottage will suit first-time buyers or buyers seeking a character home with scope to improve, plus investors who understand auction conditions. Its village location, nearby good schools and countryside access offer a comfortable, convenient base with clear potential to add value through targeted refurbishment.
