Set on a very large plot in peaceful Whitwell, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace brick cottage blends period charm with genuine renovation potential. The house faces open countryside, offers off-street parking, a long enclosed rear garden with pond, and several useful outbuildings including greenhouse and large shed — appealing for families who value outdoor space and rural living.
Internally the layout is practical: porch and entrance hall, boot room, living room with red-brick fireplace, kitchen with original beams and extensive storage, and a family bathroom. The first-floor bedrooms have dormer-style ceilings and countryside views. Services and connectivity are strong for a rural location: excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; no flood risk and very low local crime.
Important condition points are clear: the property is a fixer-upper. The exterior shows roof wear and the outbuildings and garden areas need maintenance. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated (suspended ceiling, mid-century fittings) and will require updating to modern standards. Buyers should be prepared for repair and refurbishment work.
Offered freehold in a hamlet setting with easy access to footpaths, bridleways and local schools, this cottage suits a growing family seeking country life with scope to personalise, or a buyer looking for a renovation project that retains character. Council tax is noted as affordable for the area.
