Set in the heart of Honley village, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage combines unmistakable period charm with a practical central location. Exposed beams, mullion windows and an arched vaulted kitchen ceiling create characterful living spaces across four split levels. The living room centres on a stone fireplace with a log burner, while the kitchen sits on a lower-ground level beneath the vaulted ceiling — an attractive and unusual feature for cottages in the area.
The property is chain-free and offers a small paved cottage garden and useful front-store/utility space. At about 786 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or couples wanting a village lifestyle close to shops, schools and amenities. Honley’s good schools and very low local crime add to the appeal for buyers prioritising community and safety.
Buyers should note the building’s listed status — repairs and alterations will be restricted and may require specialist materials and consent. The stone walls appear uninsulated (as-built) and the glazing install date is unknown, so energy-efficiency improvements are likely if desired. The multi-level layout and narrow rooms may not suit those needing step-free living or large, open-plan spaces.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located cottage with genuine period features and village convenience. It will appeal to buyers who value atmosphere and history and are prepared for the practicalities of a listed, older home.
