This well-presented stone-built mid-terrace sits in an elevated position in Whitworth, offering outstanding countryside views and useful outdoor space. Set over three floors, the house provides a lounge, kitchen-diner, utility room, two first-floor bedrooms, a bathroom and a sizeable attic room — good flexibility for living or home working. At 778 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers or young families seeking character and a scenic aspect.
Practical details favour straightforward occupation: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The property is close to highly regarded primary and secondary schools and walking distance to Healey Dell nature reserve, with easy road links to Rochdale, Todmorden and Rawtenstall.
Buyers should note a few clear considerations. The house dates from the early 20th century and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated — adding wall insulation could improve comfort and running costs. The EPC rating is D and there is a single bathroom serving the house. The plot is very small, with a front garden/patio and an enclosed paved yard rather than extensive grounds.
Overall this home combines period character, excellent views and sensible local amenities. It will particularly suit first-time buyers who value outdoor outlook and potential to personalise energy efficiency and interior finishes. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate the position and room proportions.
