1 Bell Busk, Bell Busk, BD23 4DT

Here's our Top Ten reasons to love 1 Bell Busk:

1. Incredibly sweet - a stone and slate former mill worker's cottage; an end terrace, one of 12 built in two parallel rows creating an attractive open plan courtyard in between. Some period features remain with sash windows, a built-in cupboard with tongue and bead doors in the living area, arched window and door reveals and ceiling beams in bedroom 2. Still hung on the gable end of the cottage is a a bell which would have been rung to call the mill workers.

2. Now requiring a little TLC - providing scope for general cosmetic upgrading.

3. Set over three floors - with an approximate gross internal area of 634 sq ft (58.9 sq m) the accommodation is bigger than you think at first glance. There is an open plan living kitchen - the kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, electric oven and hob and integral refrigerator and washing machine. To the first floor is a bedroom, as well as a three piece bathroom and from an inner landing, a staircase leads to the second floor where you'll find bedroom 2, being open to the apex with skylight window, undereaves storage and built-in cupboard.

4. Great to lock up and leave - there's no garden however, low upkeep leaves more time to get out and enjoy the things you like to do.
