Characterful Victorian two-bed with enclosed garden and improvement potential in popular Pleckgate..
Two double bedrooms and four-piece family bathroom
A charming stone-built terrace in Pleckgate, this two-bedroom cottage mixes Victorian character with practical family living. The lounge centres on a multi-fuel stove set in an exposed brick surround; upstairs offers two double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. The property is freehold and compact at about 689 sq ft, with an enclosed rear garden for outdoor use.
Well-suited to a small family or first-time buyer seeking period character, the house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing installed before 2002, and a fitted kitchen with several integrated appliances. Local schools include several Good and Outstanding-rated options nearby, and everyday amenities — shops, a pub and hairdresser — are within walking distance.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the plot is small, ceiling heights are generally low, and the original stone walls are assumed to have no insulation. Crime in the area is above average, and some updating or insulating work may be required to improve energy efficiency. Council Tax band B keeps running costs relatively low.
Overall this property offers immediate character, a handy Pleckgate location and scope to add value through targeted improvements such as wall insulation, cosmetic modernisation or reconfiguring space to suit contemporary family needs.
