Set in the heart of Richmond’s Georgian core, this Grade II listed one-bedroom cottage combines authentic period character with practical town-centre living. Exposed stonework, timber beams and a vaulted bathroom with a freestanding roll-top tub give the home strong visual appeal, while a compact, well-planned kitchen and a generous living room make everyday life comfortable. Spanning three floors and around 703 sq ft, the layout offers surprising space for a one-bed property.
The home is ready to move into and sold chain free, ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing character. It sits on a Tyneside lease with nominal ground rent and a low annual service charge; council tax is in a very low band. Several good primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and the town’s shops, cafés and riverside are all a short walk away.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or refurbishment. Flood risk in this area is high, and local crime statistics are elevated—factors to weigh for insurance and security. The cottage’s multi-storey layout includes narrow staircases and may not suit those with limited mobility.
Overall, this distinctive, characterful cottage will suit a buyer seeking a compact, centrally located home with period charm and manageable running costs, who is comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and local flood and crime considerations.
