Characterful, affordable village home for first-time buyers and couples.
Chain free two-bedroom end-terrace cottage, ready to move into
This charming two-bedroom end-terrace cottage sits in picturesque Midgley and is offered chain free — ideal for first-time buyers or those seeking a countryside base. The house retains genuine period character, including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and wood-burning stoves, creating a warm, characterful interior from the moment you enter.
Set across three levels, the layout includes an open-plan living kitchen on the ground floor, a light-filled first-floor reception room or bedroom, a modern house bathroom, and an attic-style upper room with Velux skylight and exposed stone. At about 710 sq ft the accommodation is modest but well arranged; the property is presented ready to move into with gas central heating and double glazing.
There are practical points to note: the building dates from the early 20th century and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be worthwhile. Ceiling heights are lower in places (typical of period cottages) and the immediate area records above-average crime levels, which may concern some buyers. On the positive side, there is no flood risk, mobile signal and broadband are strong, and local amenities, schools and rail links are all within easy reach.
Overall this cottage offers characterful, affordable living in a desirable semi-rural location close to Luddendenfoot, Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge. It suits a buyer wanting a ready-to-live-in period home with scope to improve energy performance and personalise the interior further.
