Stone-built, chain-free starter home near Brighouse station — needs modernisation..
Deceptively spacious one-bedroom Victorian end-terrace
Corner Cottage is a stone-built end-terrace offering deceptively spacious one-bedroom accommodation over multiple levels. High ceilings, a large front bedroom window and a useful cellar create a sense of space uncommon in similar homes of this size. Recent practical works include a new boiler (Jan 2019) and a new roof (July 2019), and the property is sold freehold with no upper chain.
The layout works well for a first-time buyer or investor: an entrance vestibule leads to a lounge with period coving and a compact kitchen; the generous bathroom and fitted storage add everyday convenience. On-street parking without a permit makes short trips easier, and Brighouse railway station and town centre amenities are a short walk away.
There are some clear refurbishment opportunities. The living room and other finishes are dated and would benefit from modernization to improve comfort and energy performance (EPC D, rating 68). The property has no private garden or garage, and on-street parking is the only option. The wider neighbourhood has higher-than-average crime levels and sits within a relatively deprived area, which may influence long-term rental yields or resale expectations.
Overall, Corner Cottage is best suited to buyers seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or a buy-to-let with immediate occupancy potential. Its freehold status, recent roof and boiler replacements, and proximity to transport and schools present genuine value, provided the new owner budgets for cosmetic updating and accepts the constrained external space.
