Tucked down a private access lane in Halton, this 17th-century semi-detached home combines genuine period character with sensible modern upgrades. Exposed beams, low ceilings and quirky nooks create an intimate, characterful interior while a powerful multi-fuel stove and Economy 7 storage heaters provide warmth; underfloor heating serves the contemporary shower room.
The property sits on a very small plot with a divorced garden a few metres from the front door. The garden is low-maintenance with Astro turf and Indian stone flagging; a large, well-equipped cabin (with power and lighting) offers secure storage and rivals a garage. There is space where off-road parking could be created, but this would require opening the current access.
Practical details suit a straightforward purchase: freehold tenure, no flood risk, affordable council tax, good mobile signal and fast broadband. The cottage’s solid sandstone/limestone walls are believed to lack insulation, so further thermal improvements may be desirable. Gas is available nearby should buyers prefer to install a mains gas heating system.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a compact, character-rich property close to village amenities and countryside. It suits downsizers or buyers wanting a distinctive weekend retreat, but expect period constraints (low ceilings, small rooms) and some upgrade potential to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
