An appealing two-bedroom end-terrace cottage in the village of Kirkheaton, offered chain free and ready to move into. The house combines original stone construction and exposed beams with practical modern updates such as double glazing and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. At about 657 sq ft it suits first-time buyers seeking character and manageable running costs.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location is convenient for local shops, pubs and sports facilities, and is close to well-regarded schools (Kirkheaton Primary and Castle Hall Academy), making daily life straightforward. Flood risk is low and the wider area is very affluent, with low crime levels.
Be clear on likely maintenance and improvement needs: the property dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so loft/solid-wall insulation or other energy upgrades may be needed to improve the EPC D rating. The plot is small and some internal spaces (notably the hallway) have low ceiling heights, which may limit alterations. Tenure is not provided and should be confirmed early in the purchase process.
Overall this cottage offers character, convenience and a realistic price point for buyers wanting a manageable, characterful home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes.
