Stone-built Victorian mid-terrace with period character
Tucked on Cross Street in Worsthorne, this stone-built Victorian mid-terrace combines period character with practical modern updates. The house offers two main bedrooms plus a usable attic room, two bathrooms (including an en-suite) and a contemporary kitchen-diner that opens off the living room — a sensible layout for first-time buyers or small families. Mains gas central heating, recent double glazing and fast broadband make it comfortable and ready to occupy.
The property sits on a small plot with a gravelled rear yard and secure outbuilding, so outdoor space is low-maintenance rather than expansive. The house was constructed c.1900–1929 from sandstone/limestone and external walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential insulation or energy-efficiency works into future budgets. Internal room sizes are modest despite an overall 903 sq ft footprint and some ceilings are standard height.
Location strengths include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal, convenient bus links and attractive countryside walks nearby. Local schools include a Good-rated primary and other nearby state and independent options. The mix of rural traits and blue-collar terraces in the wider area means amenities and community services are present but the street retains a village feel.
This freehold mid-terrace suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a period property with ready-to-live-in comforts and straightforward improvement potential. Be aware of likely fabric- and insulation-related upgrades if aiming for the best long-term running costs and EPC results.
