This attractive stone-built terraced cottage sits in a desirable Whitworth location, just a short walk from Healey Dell Nature Reserve. The house feels deceptively spacious for its size, with character features such as exposed beams and a fireplace in the living room. Two double bedrooms, including a master with an en suite, and a large dining kitchen make practical living space for a first home.
Externally there is an attractive flagged rear garden and on-street parking to the front. The property is freehold and set in a generally affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. Local schools are rated Good and amenities and transport links are convenient.
Buyers should note the cottage was built before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls and no confirmed cavity insulation; some energy-efficiency improvements and modernisation may be beneficial. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. Council tax is inexpensive, and there is no flooding risk.
This is a strong option for a first-time buyer seeking a characterful, well-located home with scope to personalise and improve energy performance. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and countryside access on offer.
