A handsome detached stone cottage in the heart of Delph, this four-bedroom home combines original character with considered modern upgrades. Exposed stone walls, wooden beams and mullioned windows sit alongside a contemporary kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, creating comfortable, versatile living over three floors. Wired ethernet and Sonos speakers add practical modern convenience.
The ground floor offers a kitchen/breakfast room opening to a vaulted dining extension with bi-fold doors onto an easily maintained Indian sandstone patio—ideal for family entertaining. There is a useful utility room (previously a shower room) that could be reinstated as a second bathroom if required. One reception room is currently used as a bedroom, giving flexible sleeping or living arrangements.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a shower room; the top floor features a vaulted lounge/bedroom with beams and exposed stone. Heating is provided by a Worcester Bosch gas boiler and double glazing. Externally you have parking in front of the house and a rented garage (currently £325 per quarter) providing additional secure storage.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of D, assumed stone walls have no added insulation, and there is a medium flood risk for the area. Council tax sits in Band E. These are realistic considerations for buyers weighing running costs and potential improvement works, but they are balanced by the village location, good local primary schools, and strong village amenities.
