Set on a quiet no-through road in picturesque Broadbottom, this stone-built mid-terrace cottage offers deceptively spacious living across four floors and an easy 30-minute rail commute to Manchester. The front lounge with a wood-burning stove and the period-style bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath provide characterful, comfortable living while the 17ft attic bedroom adds flexible space for a home office or guest room.
The fitted shaker kitchen and separate dining room sit on the lower-ground level with direct access to a split-level rear garden and shed — a low-maintenance outside space suitable for light planting and sitting out. Large windows and skylights bring good natural light to most rooms, and modern double glazing has been installed since 2002.
Practical points to note: the property is EPC rating D and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. The layout’s multiple flights of stairs suit a family or professionals who value separate, characterful rooms but may be less convenient for anyone with limited mobility. The small plot and terraced setting mean outdoor space and parking are modest.
This freehold cottage will appeal to buyers seeking a character home within easy commuting distance of Manchester, and to those willing to invest in targeted insulation or modernisation to improve comfort and running costs.
