This stone-built, Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage on Mortimer Row offers a compact but characterful one-bedroom home with good transport links and quick access to local amenities. The property is presented with many period features intact, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace, and an extended open-plan dining kitchen leading to a low-maintenance garden. Its freehold status and no onward chain make it straightforward to purchase.
The house suits a first-time buyer seeking a manageable, character property or an investor looking for a buy-to-let opportunity. At 483 sq ft, the layout is compact yet practical: generous double bedroom, bathroom with three-piece suite, and useful basement cellar for storage. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern living and tenant demand.
Important constraints are clear: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairing or insulating the stone walls, and secondary glazing with assumed uninsulated solid walls means heating efficiency is limited. Current heating uses room heaters and mains gas; an upgrade could be needed for comfort and running costs. The local area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental values and should be considered by buyers and landlords.
Overall, the cottage offers period charm, straightforward tenure and immediate occupancy potential. Buyers should budget for listed-building considerations and energy-efficiency improvements while weighing the benefits of a low-maintenance garden, strong transport links and good rental prospects in this area.
