Compact, characterful two-bed cottage—renovated and ready to move in..
Recently modernised two-bedroom Victorian cottage with exposed beams
This recently modernised two-bedroom cottage in Northowram combines period character with contemporary fittings, making it a ready-to-move-in option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The compact open-plan dining kitchen/living room has exposed beams, hardwood flooring and double doors to a low-maintenance rear paved garden, creating a bright central living space. A useful cellar with power and plumbing offers practical storage or utility potential.
The property has gas central heating, double glazing and a modern three-piece bathroom, so most major updates have been completed. The house sits in a very small plot and total internal space is limited (approx. 476 sq ft), so it will suit those seeking a cosy home rather than expansive living areas.
Constructed circa early 20th century, the stone-built walls are likely uninsulated; buyers sensitive to energy efficiency should note potential for further insulation improvements. The house is mid-terrace with standard ceiling heights and small windows typical of the period. Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk.
Located close to good local schools, amenities and transport links, this cottage offers a practical, characterful base in a comfortable suburbia setting. It’s particularly suitable for buyers wanting a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home or investors seeking a straightforward rental property with modest upkeep needs.
