Positioned on The Wharfage in UNESCO-listed Ironbridge, this compact three-bedroom Edwardian cottage is offered freehold with no upward chain and has been trading successfully as a holiday let — a ready-made income opportunity for investors. The property sits close to riverside attractions, museums and local shops, making it straightforward to let to short-break visitors or convert back into a central family home.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall, bay-windowed lounge, generous kitchen/diner, guest WC, three first-floor bedrooms including an en suite to the master, and a family bathroom. The footprint is modest at about 759 sq ft, with period features such as cornicing and original floorboards that lend character and appeal to holiday guests or buyers seeking a central character cottage.
There are some important constraints to note. External space is limited to a small paved terrace; there is no private off-street parking, although residents are eligible for council parking permits for nearby pay-and-display car parks. The property was built c.1900–29 in solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so energy upgrade work may be needed to improve comfort and running costs. There is a medium flood risk in the area — factor this into insurance and management for holiday letting.
For buyers wanting an easily managed, characterful property in a highly touristic location, this home presents immediate letting potential and scope for cosmetic upgrading to increase yield or resale value. For owner-occupiers it offers a compact, low-maintenance town-centre base with outstanding local heritage on the doorstep, but expect limited garden space and on-street parking only.
