Grade II listed barn/workshop with exposed timbers and cobbled floors
A centrally positioned period townhouse on Broad Street with rare ancillary buildings and private gardens for a town-centre plot. The house retains many original features — sash windows, high ceilings and fireplaces — and includes an adjoining dairy plus a substantial Grade II listed barn/workshop, offering clear potential for alternative uses subject to consent.
Internally the property is arranged over three floors with four bedrooms, separate dining room, lounge, breakfast room and two bathrooms. The plot benefits from a larger-than-expected rear garden and direct access across a cobbled forecourt to the timber-framed barn. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the location well connected for modern needs.
Buyers should note important constraints: the barn and some parts are Grade II listed (restrictions and additional approvals likely), the house has solid brick walls with no insulation (retrofit needed), and heating is by electric storage heaters which may be costly to run. The total internal area is compact (approximately 442 sq ft) despite multiple rooms — careful viewing and floorplan checks are essential. The local neighbourhood shows high deprivation and very high crime statistics; sensible security and management plans are advisable.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a character building with mixed-use potential — an investor or buyer prepared for refurbishment and listed-building processes. For a family, the location and private garden are attractive, but expect refurbishment and possible adaptation works before full modern comfort is achieved.
