With some original period features still in place; combustion oven & timber lined walls - this home is completely unique.
Set on a slightly sloping allotment and nestled amid the relics of yesteryear, this amazing feature filled' home has been reenergised to provide a modern twist to centuries of living. This typical miner's cottage has been restumped and rewired to provide a solid base, whilst the interior has had some work completed with the installation of a stunning Bellings induction stove, gas hot water and ample cupboard space; however there are still renovations to complete by the new owner. Whilst the laundry is currently housed within the family bathroom, this could be returned to its external shell with a little work, to provide further space inside and capture the original larder style laundry.
Fuelled by a cosy free standing wood heater plus benefitting from the convenience of a split system, this property of 1315m2 provides plenty of space and sheds to manage a large woodheap and tools for winter provisions. Drenched in abundance of times gone by', this property would create a quirky weekender or a quaint family home.
