Dawson Weir House is a substantial Grade II-listed Georgian residence offering grand period proportions across three storeys. Large reception rooms, high ceilings and original details such as sash windows, decorative cornices and an original vestibule provide immediate historic character and flexible family living space. The plot includes private gardens, a detached garage and direct rear access onto the canal towpath for waterside walks.
The house’s size and layout suit a family seeking spacious rooms or a buyer wanting room to adapt – there is scope for a self-contained suite via the secondary staircase. The property is freehold and sits in a prominent location with good mobile signal and nearby amenities, schools rated Good, and pleasant semi-rural connections.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the home is Grade II-listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. The site is in a high flood-risk area and local crime levels and area deprivation are noted as higher than average. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should commission specialist surveys and check listed-building consent requirements before committing.
For a buyer attracted to heritage and generous room proportions, this house offers rare scale and character in Todmorden. For those prioritising low maintenance, modern services or unrestricted redevelopment, the listing status, flood risk and refurbishment needs are material considerations.
