Tucked on Foundry Street North, this two-bedroom Victorian stone cottage pairs period character with everyday practicality. The sitting room’s exposed beams, stone fireplace and wood-burning stove give an immediate sense of warmth and character, while modern additions such as double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EV charging point bring contemporary convenience.
The layout is compact but well planned: a generous lounge, fitted kitchen with adjacent utility, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outside there is off-street parking to the front and an enclosed rear garden with a decked area — useful for outdoor dining or low-maintenance planting.
Important practical points are clear: the house is mid-terrace, built before 1900 from sandstone/limestone and is assumed to lack wall insulation, so buyers should consider potential insulating or upgrade works. The EPC is rated D and council tax is low (Band A). The local area records high crime levels and high deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
This cottage will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking character within a modest budget, especially if you value period features and a ready-to-live-in home with scope for energy improvements. As with any older property, a full survey is recommended to confirm services, insulation and any necessary repairs.
