Characterful two-bedroom cottage with panoramic views and garage, ideal for first-time buyers.
No onward chain — ready for quick sale
Set on a corner plot in historic Mow Cop, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers immediate move-in potential and clear scope to personalise. The open-plan lounge/dining room enjoys an elevated position and panoramic front-aspect views — a rare find for first-time buyers seeking character and convenience. The attached garage and off-street parking add everyday practicality.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a sizable lounge/diner, a functional kitchen with some integrated appliances, a large four-piece bathroom and two double bedrooms. Period features such as mid-century wood panelling, exposed beams and an electric feature fireplace give the house character but many internal finishes are dated and ready for modernization to suit contemporary tastes.
Practical considerations are clear: the house was built in the mid-20th century and cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed), so buyers should expect energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to check if working from home is important. The property is freehold, chain-free and benefits from very low local crime and inexpensive council tax, which helps running costs.
Overall this cottage is well suited to first-time buyers or downsizers who value character, views and a manageable project. With straightforward updates — insulation, décor and services checks — the home can be made more efficient and comfortable while retaining its charming, rural feel.
