Summary - THE COTTAGE LIGHTWOOD AVENUE BUXTON SK17 7AZ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious period family home with parking and garden near town amenities.
Double-fronted detached cottage on a private off-road plot
Set on a quiet off-road stretch of Lightwood Avenue, this double-fronted detached cottage combines early 20th-century stone character with comfortable living spaces. The house offers a formal lounge, dining room leading to a breakfast area, and a well-equipped kitchen — good family flow on the ground floor and six rooms in total across 1,222 sq ft. Outside, a walled driveway provides generous off-street parking and a decent private garden with pathways around the plot.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower. The property is mains-gas heated via a boiler and radiators and has double glazing (install date unknown). Constructed around 1900–1929 with sandstone/limestone walls, the house retains period appeal but also shows areas for practical attention: the stone walls have no known built-in insulation and some updating may be needed to meet modern efficiency standards.
Practical considerations are clear and should inform viewing decisions. Flood risk is classed as medium and local crime levels are above average. There is a single principal bathroom for three bedrooms. On the positive side the area is very affluent, within a comfortable suburban pocket close to shops, bus links and several well-rated primary schools, making it a sensible family purchase or a buyer seeking period character close to town.
Overall, the house is a well-located, characterful family home with parking and private garden. Buyers seeking immediate turnkey modern efficiency should budget for insulation/efficiency upgrades and to review flood mitigation; those wanting a roomy, central Buxton property with scope to add value will find clear potential here.
