Original elements — exposed stone walls, flagstone floors and an inglenook fireplace with wood burner — give the house warmth and strong period charm. Neutral decor throughout makes it move-in ready while allowing future owners to personalise easily.

The plot size and side-access present genuine scope to extend (subject to planning permission), ideal for buyers wanting more living space. The layout includes a spacious lounge, bright breakfast room and practical kitchen, with two bedrooms and a three-piece shower room upstairs.
Practical details: the home is freehold, offered chain free, on a water meter and sits in Council Tax Band A. The building dates from the early 20th century and has double glazing of unknown install date; the EPC is rated E. These factors, plus the period construction, are important for buyers to consider when budgeting for running costs and any future upgrades.
Location is a clear strength: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby including Pleckgate High and Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School. For families seeking character, outdoor space and good local amenities, this property offers a rare combination of period appeal and extension potential.
