Compact two-bed with garden and strong refurbishment potential.
Chain free freehold cottage with generous rear garden
Period stone facade; retains character features
Small overall size — approx. 592 sq ft, compact rooms
Requires cosmetic modernisation and likely damp treatment
Stone walls assumed uninsulated — heating efficiency affected
Medium local flood risk — consider insurance and mitigation
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for remote working
Very low council tax and close to good primary schools
This traditional stone-built mid-terrace cottage sits in the heart of Oakworth, offered chain free and with a generous rear garden — a rare find in the village. The two-bedroom layout is compact and practical, with a ground-floor reception room, fitted kitchen and first-floor bathroom. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the home suitable for modern working patterns.
The property retains period character externally and has an open-plan feel internally, but it does require cosmetic updating throughout. Interiors are basic: laminate flooring in the main reception, simple carpets to bedrooms and an older gas boiler and radiators. There are signs that some renovation work is needed (general modernisation and damp treatment should be considered) and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which will affect heating efficiency until improved.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax, good local schools rated 'Good' and close access to amenities and transport links. The plot is modest in footprint but the rear garden provides useful outside space and potential to enhance value. Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area and the cottage’s small overall size (approximately 592 sq ft).
This property will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a character starter home or to investors after a village-let opportunity. It offers scope for straightforward cosmetic refurbishment to increase comfort and value, but budget for damp remediation, insulation and general updating when assessing costs.
