Period stone cottage with modern extension, parking for two and Peak District access.
Refurbished 2-bed cottage with added loft room and stylish kitchen extension
Set in Old Glossop at the foot of the Peak District, this beautifully refurbished 2-bedroom stone cottage blends period character with a contemporary extension. The ground-floor open-plan kitchen/diner and a 341 sq ft lounge with wood panelling and a log burner create a warm, social heart for family life. A loft room adds flexible space for a home office, playroom or guest area.
Practical benefits include a cobbled driveway with off-street parking for two cars, a low-maintenance professionally landscaped rear garden with decked seating, and a recent bathroom upgrade. The property is offered on a very long lease (999 years from 1878 — c.852 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent of £1.45pa and council tax band C.
Buyers should note some material points: the location has a high flooding risk, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated. The house was constructed before 1900, so while newly renovated, further improvement or insulating works may be desirable to optimise comfort and energy efficiency.
Well placed for village amenities, primary and secondary schools rated Good, and within walking distance of Glossop town centre and the train station, this cottage will suit families or buyers seeking a character home with modern living spaces close to the Peak District.
