A quaint countryside terrace is up for sale at an affordable price in Saddleworth.
The two-bed mid-terrace property in Delph, which dates back to the 1800s, boasts of scenic views to the rear and is listed on Rightmove for offers over £200,000.
Located on Stoneswood Road, it’s just a five-minute walk from the centre of the village which has all of the shops and amenities that potential buyers would need.
The home features an open lounge and kitchen, with a wood burner as the focal point and star attraction of the ground floor.
It would be ideal for keeping warm during the winter, as well as for gathering around when entertaining guests.
A spokesperson for estate agency Ryder and Dutton, in Uppermill, which placed the building on the market described it as “a beautiful property in a great setting” – and revealed that it’s been getting a lot of attention, as those interested have been advised to book a viewing as soon as possible.
They added: “It offers great views, so in all weathers you can enjoy the area, you can walk straight into the village, and there's potential to go into the loft - so if you get the right regulations you could have a three-bed.”
The modern open-plan lounge and kitchen is another attractive feature of the property, making it ideal for first-time buyers.
It would be suitable for couples looking to get onto the property ladder, as well as retirees looking to make an escape to the countryside.
Upstairs, there’s a bathroom and two bedrooms – one of which has been converted into an office for all of your home-working requirements, while the other has a built in wardrobe with plenty of space.
On the landing, at the top of the stairs, there is access to an elevated section of the backyard.
However, despite the house being freehold, interested parties have been advised that the garden is rented off a nearby resident for £50 a year – with an option to buy.
There’s scope for potential buyers to convert the loft, which is boarded with velux windows and is accessed by a drop-down ladder. This could form another home office or an attractive storage space, making the most of the home's layout.
The outdoor courtyard area would be perfect for entertaining, particularly in the summer months. It has attractive decked seating at the front and a pathway at the back. The mature lawned garden provides ample opportunity for purchasers to enjoy views over the open fields that stretch further onto the horizon.
As well as the generously sized home, there’s a secure garage close by which could be used for parking or for storage.
This smartly presented stone cottage goes above and beyond what can be expected from many first-time homes and would likely be considered an attractive proposition for new buyers.
