John Street, Biddulph, ST8

A rare chance to own a home with flair,
2 bedrooms now, 5 could be there.
Private and versatile, full of charm,
Steps from Biddulph, with space and calm.

Ten years of love have brought it alive,
A brick fireplace where history thrives.
Mantle crafted from Liverpool’s docks,
A home that truly turns all heads and talks.

With style, energy-smart upgrades, and room to grow,
This unique property steals the show.

Built in 1885, this rare opportunity allows you to acquire a truly unique and characterful 2-bedroom semi-detached home, offering incredible versatility, privacy and potential—all within walking distance of Biddulph Town Centre. Unlike anything else on the market, this substantial period property has been lovingly brought back to life over the past 10 years and presents the exciting possibility of becoming a five-bedroom home without extending its current footprint. Additionally, the property benefits from newly installed internal and cavity wall insulation completed in early 2025, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.

Upon entry, large wooden gates create a grand and private welcome to the property.

Step inside and discover a home full of charm and individuality. The rustic kitchen boasts integrated appliances and an ornamental Aga with potential for full restoration. A cosy breakfast room with French doors opens onto the garden, while the bright lounge/diner features a striking exposed brick fireplace with a mantle crafted from a sail originating from Liverpool Docks—a true conversation piece. Another set of French doors provides seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The original main entrance leads to a spacious landing, currently used as a sitting/office area but once a bedroom—easily converted back to maximise the 1700 sq ft of living space. A wooden staircase ascends to another open-plan space on the second floor, ideal as a further bedroom or workspace. The first floor continues with a double bedroom, a vintage-style bathroom complete with freestanding bath and quadrant power shower, and a huge dressing room with masses of storage—again, perfect for conversion into an additional bedroom. From here, yet another staircase leads to a separate second-floor double bedroom, offering privacy and flexibility.

Externally, the generous plot is a blank canvas, ready for the next owner to create their own garden oasis. There is a decked area, paved patio area, faux lawn, large wooden entry gates, and off-road parking for up to six vehicles. Whether you dream of a larger garden and smaller driveway or vice versa, the options are plentiful. Even more excitingly, the home is adjoined to a smaller property currently on the market separately, offering the rare potential to purchase both and create a large detached residence exceeding 1700 sq ft without needing to extend.

The location is exceptional—Biddulph Town Centre offers shops, cafés, butchers, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, and a GP surgery all within walking distance. Beautiful outdoor spaces such as Knypersley Reservoir, Grange Country Park, countryside walks and Mow Cop Castle are close by, with Rudyard, Tittesworth, the Peak District and Little Moreton Hall slightly further afield.

Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. With its 1700 sq ft of space, Victorian heritage (built in 1885), character, flexibility, energy-efficient improvements and extraordinary potential in a convenient yet private setting—complete with impressive wooden entrance gates—this home truly stands out.
