Cosy one-bedroom cottage with parking, two gardens and excellent transport links.
Bright open-plan kitchen-diner with skylight
This white-fronted terraced cottage blends period character with modern comforts, ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing charm. The open-plan kitchen-diner feels bright and airy thanks to a skylight, while the sitting room retains original beams, a bay window and an electric log burner for cosy evenings.
Practical features include off-street parking for two cars on the gravel driveway, two garden areas (low-maintenance Indian slate patio plus a lawn with flowering blackthorn hedge) and convenient local amenities. Blythe Bridge train station is around five minutes away and the A50 provides swift road links, making visits to nearby Cheadle and Stoke straightforward.
Be clear about the limitations: the cottage is small (approx. 563 sq ft) with a single double bedroom and one bathroom. The property dates from before 1900 and has sandstone/limestone walls likely without insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002 and the EPC is rated D. There is a medium flood risk in the area, which may affect insurance and maintenance considerations.
Overall this freehold mid-terrace cottage suits downsizers or single buyers seeking character, a manageable garden and good transport links. It offers tasteful period features and practical parking, but expect modest space, potential retrofit work for insulation, and the usual quirks of an older home.
