Set on a Victorian stone terrace with expansive views across Cockfield Fell, this mid-terrace two-bedroom house offers clear scope to create a comfortable first home or a tidy investment. A recently replaced roof reduces immediate exterior maintenance; internally the property needs modernisation and remodelling to reach its full potential. The layout includes entrance vestibule, living room, dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The plot is small but practical: a sunny front yard with an apple tree and a large rear yard with potential to extend (subject to planning). Double glazing is fitted though install dates are unknown; heating is by electric storage heaters with additional wood-burning fuel options — buyers should expect to upgrade heating and consider insulating the original stone walls.
Practical points: parking is on-street and neighbours have a right of access across the front yard for bin access. The house lies in a conservation area and a historical mining district; no planning permissions are noted by the vendor. Cockfield provides local amenities, reliable bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, making the location appealing for first-time buyers wanting countryside access.
This property suits a buyer prepared to carry out internal renovation or a hands-on investor. Renovation will add value given the long views, stone character and room to extend — but factor in heating upgrades, possible wall insulation, and typical costs of modernising an early 20th-century terrace.
