A period stone end-terrace in Furness Vale offering character, practical space and countryside views. Built in the late 1800s, the house has a sitting room with fireplace, a fitted dining kitchen, shower room, two bedrooms plus a useful loft conversion that works well as a home office or occasional bedroom. The rear courtyard garden adjoins open fields, giving a pleasant, rural outlook and a feeling of space beyond the boundary.
The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002, and is slightly elevated with a flagged front approach. It sits within easy reach of local shops, schools rated Good, and regular bus and rail links to New Mills, Whaley Bridge and larger towns — making it suitable for commuters who value village life. Council tax is very low, and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property (long lease remaining) and the layout contains generally small rooms typical of Victorian terraces. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so there may be scope for improving thermal efficiency. Outdoor space is a courtyard-style rear garden rather than a large lawn; on-street parking is typical of the area rather than private off-street parking.
This home will suit first-time buyers, commuters or small families looking for a charming, affordable period property with scope to personalise and modernise. It’s a straightforward purchase for someone wanting a ready-to-live-in cottage with practical extras — loft space, two bathrooms and countryside views — while accepting modest room sizes and the usual improvement tasks of an older stone house.
