Charming Stone-Built Cottage with Development Potential

A rare opportunity to extend and enhance this traditional stone-built semi-detached cottage (SSTC) set in one of the area’s most desirable locations. Overlooking open fields and the village cricket pitch, this property combines period character with scope for modernisation and development.

GROUND FLOOR

The entrance hallway features original quarry tiled flooring, leading to a welcoming lounge with a large front-aspect window, exposed beams, and a feature fireplace with gas fire in the style of a wood-burning stove along with a slate hearth.

To the rear, a single-storey kitchen extension offers a separate kitchen and utility space with direct access to a courtyard garden. From here, stone steps lead down to a traditional keeping cellar, ideal for storage or potential conversion.

FIRST FLOOR

The landing retains high ceilings and original character.

The main double bedroom to the front features built-in wardrobes along two walls and dual windows with lovely open views across Wakefield Road and the playing fields beyond.
