This is a lovely Grade II listed Victorian cottage in a tranquil countryside setting just off the desirable Waters Road. It is nicely presented throughout with a wealth of character and original features including exposed stonework and roof timbers, all complimented by more modern conveniences of double-glazed windows in hardwood frames, gas fired central heating, multi-fuel stove in the lounge, and a stunning bathroom. As you would imagine, it enjoys some lovely views over the surrounding countryside and Pennine hills. If you are not going to live in it yourself, it would make a great ‘holiday let’ being ideally placed for those who enjoy walking and is just a short walk along to the Tunnel End Visitor Centre and Cafe. Externally, it has a good-sized well planned out garden to the front enclosed by timber fencing and a drystone wall, whilst at the rear you will find parking for at least 2 cars and access to a very useful outbuilding.
