This absolutely delightful 2 bedroomed cottage is quite unassuming from its rear elevation on the roadside but once you walk around to the front, you find a most attractive stone-built period cottage. Once inside, you will find an array of features including exposed stonework walls, beams, a multi-fuel stove, and natural wood internal doors. It provides a ready to move into home which briefly comprises entrance lobby, hall, lounge, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and bathroom. Externally, it has a small, easy to maintain, garden and a gate gives pedestrian access along the front of the other 2 cottages and then round onto Manchester Road. It is conveniently located for access to local schools, a regular bus service, and a short drive up to Slaithwaite where you will find an array of shops, bars, restaurants, and a train station.
