This gorgeous little cottage is quite unassuming from the roadside but offers a very comfortable home with bags of character and charm, great views, and it comes with an off road parking space, a paved patio area at the rear, and an enclosed mainly gravelled garden to the front. You will find some lovely features including stone mullioned windows, natural wood internal doors with cast iron door furniture, beams, and multi-fuel stove in the lounge. There is good access down into the village where you will find an array of amenities, and for those who enjoy the outdoors, there are plenty of public footpaths taking you across the nearby countryside and up onto the Pennine hills. It is also worth noting that this is for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.
