This compact end-of-terrace cottage combines genuine period charm with practical extras such as off-street parking and a paved courtyard. The ground floor offers an open-plan kitchen/diner/living room with a slate floor, exposed beams and a granite inglenook housing a multifuel stove with a back-boiler that supplies heating. A granite-built storage shed in the courtyard includes mains power, plumbing for a washing machine and a low-level WC — useful for utility needs.
Accommodation is small and characterful: one formal bedroom plus a large landing currently used as a second bedroom, and a shower room on the first floor. Ceiling heights are low in parts of the cottage and access is via a spiral staircase, so the layout suits buyers who value atmosphere over expansive, level living. The property is chain-free, making it easier to move quickly if required.
Be realistic about running costs and improvement needs. The walls are traditional granite with no assumed insulation and the EPC rating is F, so energy efficiency is poor and upgrades (insulation, heating review, possible re-wiring) would be sensible. The house is in a conservation area and historic mining district, which preserves character but may affect permitted works. For buyers seeking a compact, characterful home near coastal walks and local amenities, this offers strong appeal; for those wanting a low-maintenance, modern-energy home, investment will be needed.
