Extended end-terrace cottage circa 1790 with original character features
A handsome extended end-terrace cottage dating to circa 1790, thoughtfully updated to combine original character with modern living. The ground floor offers open-plan living, dining and a well-appointed fitted kitchen, plus a utility room; upstairs are three generous bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. A large driveway to the side provides convenient off-street parking and a forecourt garden sits to the front.
Outside, the landscaped, south-west facing rear garden is a genuine asset — raised decking with pergola, porcelain patio and low-maintenance lawn create private outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining. Location is practical: within walking distance of Castleton train station, local schools, Tesco, Castlehawk Golf Club and canal walks, with quick access to Rochdale/Bury and the motorway network.
Practical positives include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and sash windows to the front. The property is freehold, has very low local crime and no flood risk. Council tax is cheap and broadband and mobile signal are good, which suits home-workers and families alike.
Note the wider area is classified as very deprived and the local neighbourhood includes constrained rental markets; this may affect long‑term resale or rental demand. As a circa-1790 cottage, future buyers should allow for the typical maintenance needs of an older building despite recent upgrades. There is a single family bathroom only, which may be limiting for larger households.
