Character two-bedroom near shops and schools, ideal starter home.
Guide price circa £90,000 - £100,000
A compact, characterful two-bedroom cottage in Whitwell, offered with a guide price around £90,000. The house sits in a peaceful village setting close to shops, primary schools and everyday amenities, making it an affordable entry point for first-time buyers. Traditional features such as exposed beams, picture rails, coving and a mid-century fireplace give the property genuine period charm.
Ground floor accommodation includes a light living room with dual-aspect UPVC windows and a breakfast kitchen with useful under-stairs storage. There is a practical utility room with plumbing for appliances and extra cupboards. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms with fitted storage and a fully tiled three-piece bathroom with shower over bath.
Externally the home benefits from gated access to a shared courtyard and a private enclosed garden that will reward some TLC and personalisation. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent; there is no flood risk and the tenure is freehold, with very cheap council tax.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area classed as very deprived with average local crime levels — factors that may affect long-term resale and rental prospects. The house presents good scope for modest updating and cosmetic improvement to increase comfort and value, rather than major structural change.
