A compact Grade II listed stone cottage placed on Leymoor Road, directly overlooking the village green. Recently refurbished throughout, the house is ready to occupy and suits a first-time buyer or young couple seeking character, convenience and low maintenance ownership thanks to chain-free sale and gas central heating.
The ground floor is arranged as an open-plan living and kitchen space that makes efficient use of the modest footprint; two small bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the first floor with a rear lean-to store for extra storage. Double glazing and newly fitted flooring improve comfort while retaining the property’s historic charm.
Important practical points are clear: the house is small (591 sq ft) with a very small garden/yard and limited outdoor space. Its Grade II listing protects original features but will restrict extensions, external alterations or certain internal changes—buyers should expect additional consent requirements and potential repair constraints. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), which could limit thermal performance despite the Band D (EPC 61) rating.
Positioned in the village centre, the cottage is within a short stroll of shops, pubs, bus stops and good local schools, and it is a short drive to junctions 23 and 24 of the M62. For someone prioritising central location and character over generous space, this is a well-presented, move-in-ready opportunity with clear renovation and legal considerations to factor in.
