This stone-built detached cottage sits in an elevated spot a few minutes' walk from Todmorden centre, offering an unusual combination of character and recent upgrades. The ground floor is open-plan, creating a sociable lounge, kitchen and dining area; a new kitchen was installed in 2022. Two first-floor bedrooms and a recently fitted bathroom (2022) make day-to-day living straightforward. A new combination boiler (2022) reduces immediate maintenance concerns.
Outside, a private courtyard provides a low-maintenance entertaining space while private off-street parking and a useful workshop beneath the property add practical value. The house is freehold and modest in footprint (around 544 sq ft), which suits buyers seeking a compact, low-upkeep home close to amenities and the train station.
Important negatives are straightforward: the property is small and the plot is limited, so storage and extension scope are constrained. The wider area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation indicators, which should be considered by buyers weighing long-term value or rental potential. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent.
This cottage will suit a buyer who values character and a central location over generous internal space — ideal for first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a ready-to-live-in home with modern services already fitted. Viewings will show how the renovated interior and elevated position balance the locality’s drawbacks.
