Grade II listed Minton cottage with strong period character
Three first-floor bedrooms and two ground-floor reception rooms
South-facing, well-stocked rear garden and patio seating area
Two private off-street parking spaces to the front of the house
Period-style bathroom with claw-foot roll-top bath
Recent rewiring, re-roofing, and newly renovated throughout
Baxi gas combi boiler and secondary glazing installed
Listed status restricts alterations; solid brick walls likely uninsulated
A charming Grade II listed Minton cottage offering three bedrooms across two floors, presented in a newly renovated condition while retaining original Victorian character. The house benefits from a south-facing, well-stocked rear garden that functions as an extra outdoor room, plus two private off-street parking spaces to the front. Period features include Minton tiles, decorative plaster mouldings and a standout period-style bathroom with a roll-top bath.
Practical updates include a Baxi gas combi boiler, frameless secondary glazing throughout and recent rewiring and re-roofing. The bordered loft provides useful storage or a potential hobby space, and the property’s solid brick construction gives long-term robustness. Local amenities, Stoke town centre and the mainline station are all within easy reach, making daily travel straightforward for commuters and families.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will restrict external and many internal alterations and could complicate some renovation works or installations. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds despite the combi boiler and secondary glazing. The immediate area records above-average crime and sits within a generally deprived local area, important for buyers to consider.
This house suits purchasers who value period character, outside space and convenient parking, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed home. It presents a rare chance to own a maintained historic cottage with modern essentials in place, while also requiring sensitivity to listing constraints and the local context.
