This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage blends original stone character with a large living-kitchen and a sheltered enclosed front garden. Exposed beams, mullion windows and an exposed stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove give the house immediate period charm and a warm, lived-in feel. At about 775 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers wanting a compact home with character.
The property has an exceptionally long lease (999 years, c.842 years remaining) and nominal ground rent, and sits in Council Tax Band A — running costs are low. There’s a handy cellar for storage, double glazing (unknown install date) and mains gas boiler and radiators providing conventional heating. The living-kitchen spans the footprint of the house, offering space for modern open-plan living or reconfiguration subject to listing restrictions.
Important practical notes: this house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extensions. The area is recorded as very deprived with higher local crime rates, and parking is on-street only. The stone walls are original and likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades (subject to listed building consent). Verify service, title and planning details with professionals before committing.
Overall this is a character-rich cottage with strong potential for someone keen to own a period home at a modest price. It suits buyers who prioritise historic features and low running costs, and who are comfortable working within listed-building constraints and a busy urban location.
