This attractive period stone cottage offers roomy, flexible living across multiple storeys and is ready to move into. The house has two large reception rooms and a substantial kitchen-diner, plus three double bedrooms with fitted storage. A long, southerly lawned garden at the rear benefits from good sun for much of the day.
Ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking space and character, the property combines original stone facades and sash-style windows with modernised interiors and double glazing. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, fast broadband speeds, freehold tenure and a very low council tax band A. It is chain-free and within easy reach of Glen Tunnel walks, local primary schools and Rawtenstall town centre.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is a pre-1900 mid-terrace built in sandstone/limestone and walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which can affect heating efficiency. The EPC is rated D. There is a single three-piece bathroom and the wider area records higher levels of deprivation; crime levels are average. These facts mean there is scope both to improve energy performance and to personalise the home further.
Overall this is a practical, characterful home offering generous room sizes and a sunny garden in a well-connected town location. It suits first-time buyers looking for space to grow and buyers willing to invest modestly in insulation or cosmetic updating to reduce running costs and add value.
