Summary - 18 ELM STREET SKELMANTHORPE HUDDERSFIELD HD8 9BH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Well-presented village home with decked garden and excellent commuter links.
Characterful open-plan living with exposed beams and stone fireplace
A compact, characterful two-bedroom terraced cottage in the heart of Skelmanthorpe, well suited to first-time buyers or someone looking to downsize. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is the home's focal point, with exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a contemporary kitchen offering induction hob and oven. The property feels warm and inviting while retaining many period touches.
Practical benefits include a decked rear garden arranged over two levels, a small elevated gravel front garden and freehold tenure. The house sits close to the village centre with cafés, shops and good primary and secondary schools nearby. Commuters will appreciate fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access to the M1 and surrounding towns.
Notable considerations are the property’s small overall size (approximately 613 sq ft) and compact plot, and the building’s original sandstone walls which are assumed uninsulated — upgrading cavity or internal insulation could be needed to improve comfort and running costs. The glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. There is only one shower room and parking is on-street. Energy performance is mid-range (Energy Rating C) and council tax is very low (Band A).
This cottage offers a turnkey feel with scope for modest improvements to increase comfort and efficiency. For buyers seeking character, a manageable garden and close village living, it represents an affordable entry into a prosperous, well-served area.
