Saltwell Road South, Low Fell

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in the heart of highly sought-after Low Fell, Hillcroft Lodge offers charm, space and enormous potential, with a price that reflects the modernisation required.

Set behind an attractive façade, this distinctive property is full of original character, from exposed ceiling beams and traditional fireplaces to beautifully proportioned rooms and parquet flooring. Offering generous accommodation arranged over split levels, the home provides a wonderful canvas for a buyer looking to create a truly special residence.

The property would benefit from full updating, including replacement windows, a new kitchen and bathroom, along with general modernisation throughout. However, this has been carefully reflected in the asking price, presenting an exciting opportunity for purchasers to renovate and add significant value while tailoring the home to their own taste and specification.

The ground floor offers a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen with feature range recess and ample scope for redesign, while the impressive living space enjoys a striking inglenook fireplace and an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home. Upstairs, the accommodation continues with well-proportioned bedrooms and further potential to reimagine the layout to suit modern family living.
