2 bed terraced house for sale

Waterfall Cottages, Waters Road, Marsden, Huddersfield HD7

A lovely Grade II listed Victorian cottage in a tranquil countryside setting. It is partway through a programme of renovation and works so far have included swapping around the bathroom and bedroom 2 resulting in a spacious and beautifully fitted bathroom, opening up the bathroom and bedroom 1 to reveal superb roof timbers, the creation of an open storage level above bedroom 1, and exposing stonework to create feature walls. There is still some work to be done to the kitchen and lounge but that provides an opportunity for you to put your own stamp on it. If you’re not going to live in it yourself, it would make a great ‘holiday let’ cottage being ideally placed for those who enjoy walking and it’s just a short walk along to Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre and Cafe. It has a good-sized garden to the front enclosed by timber fencing and a dry-stone wall with gate out to the lane beyond, and there is a parking area at the rear.
