Perfect project for first-time buyers seeking character and countryside walks.
Two double bedrooms with bright, characterful rooms and exposed beams
Set in a peaceful village pocket of Huddersfield, this stone-built mid-terrace cottage offers an authentic period home for a first-time buyer or couple. The living room is bright and characterful, with exposed beams, an original fireplace and a working log burner that make the room an immediate focal point. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a practical bathroom; a boarded loft and understairs storage add useful space.
The property comes with a brand-new kitchen and new flooring; walls and ceilings still require finishing, giving the new owner a clear opportunity to personalise. Externally there is small front garden and secluded outdoor space to the rear (accessed via a communal right of way). The house is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and fast broadband — practical essentials for everyday living.
Buyers should note significant practical considerations: the cottage needs renovation and finishing works throughout, and the location carries a high flood risk and higher local crime levels. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and exterior tidy-up will be needed. Those factors reduce immediate convenience but also lower purchase price and create scope to add value by careful refurbishment.
For a first-time buyer willing to take on modest works, this cottage offers a rare combination of period charm, handy commuter links (M1 nearby) and a quiet village feel with walks, a Victorian church and a local pub on the doorstep. If you prioritise character and are prepared to finish the kitchen and complete renovations, the home could become a warm, individual base in a desirable neighbourhood.
