Summary - 1 MOSS GAP DARWEN BB3 2LY
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character cottage with countryside views and modern fittings ready to move into.
Long lease (867 years) with small £50 ground rent
Newly renovated interior; move-in ready condition
Original features: beams, exposed stone chimney, sash-style windows
Compact 829 sq ft; two bedrooms over two floors
Rear garden plus extra council-leased land (£50 pa)
Solid stone walls likely uninsulated — may affect heating efficiency
Local broadband slow; average mobile signal
Mains gas boiler and radiators; low crime and no flood risk
This well-presented two-bedroom stone cottage in Moss Gap blends original character with recent modern upgrades. The living room retains exposed beams and a stone chimney with a multi-fuel burner, while the kitchen is newly fitted with oak worktops and integrated appliances — ready to move into for buyers seeking a period home without major works.
The property sits on an end-terrace row with attractive countryside views front and rear and a modest rear garden plus a small additional parcel leased from the council (annual fee £50). At about 829 sq ft the accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged, appealing to first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a manageable garden and strong local amenity links.
Practical points are clear: the cottage is leasehold with a very long remainder (867 years) and a small ground rent of £50, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators with double glazing fitted (install date unknown). Broadband speeds are slow locally and the solid sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating use despite the recent renovation.
Overall this property offers immediate kerb appeal, original features sensitively retained, and low running costs such as cheap council tax. Buyers attracted to rural character and move-in-ready presentation will find strong appeal here; those needing fast internet or maximum thermal efficiency should note the insulation and broadband limitations.
