A stone-built mid-terraced cottage dating from before 1900, offered chain-free and freehold. The house retains period character—feature fireplaces, exposed ceiling beams and sash-style windows—set within a small front garden and a rear courtyard. At about 742 sq ft the layout suits a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor seeking a compact, characterful home.
The accommodation is straightforward: a cosy front reception with fireplace, compact modernised kitchen, downstairs WC and a first-floor bathroom. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged over two floors with an attic dormer and modest storage. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are reported fast.
This property represents clear potential but is not fully modern. Walls are original stone with no assumed insulation, and the description and images indicate areas that would benefit from updating and routine maintenance. The street is in an area of higher-than-average crime and wider local deprivation — factors to weigh if neighbourhood security or long-term resale premiums are priorities.
Practical positives include no upward chain, very low council tax and a decent plot for the property type with an enclosed front garden and rear courtyard. For buyers looking for period charm to personalise, or investors seeking a reasonably priced cottage in Mansfield Woodhouse, this home offers a workable canvas close to local schools and amenities.
