No Chain! This three-storey, traditional period weavers' cottage, is situated within a stone's throw of the town centre, and features spacious accommodation to include a glorious beamed and vaulted attic room, and a super, private cottage garden to the rear. Historically, Crompton Road has proved a very popular residential location - the proximity to the town centre allows residents to easily access by foot; the bus/train stations, supermarkets, schools, parks, and of course; an abundance of amenities the town has to offer. Offering potential to extend the accommodation even further [subject to necessary approvals], there is a great opportunity to expand the present kitchen, to form a huge open-plan diner kitchen and snug area, if so desired. The two-tier garden is delightful and provides plenty of scope to maintain as is, or to perhaps incorporate a vegetable/herb area, or landscape further to provide distinct areas to suit. The property retains a number of original features, and of special merit, is a fabulous York stone flagged floor to the dining room - this super feature was lovingly restored with great effort, following it's discovery by the current vendors. The separate reception rooms both feature original chimneys; the front room has a open working fireplace [not tested by the agents], whilst the rear dining room features a recess to possibly re-form a fireplace, or perhaps install a wood burner [subject to seeking specialist advice]. Although the property is outlined in greater detail to follow; the accommodation briefly comprises: a cosy lounge room to the front, featuring an open fireplace as previously mentioned; a separate dining room offering much period charm, along with a small cellar which provides useful storage. The dining room provides access to a cottage-style kitchen, which could be transformed into a larger open-plan arrangement in the future [subject to necessary alteration approvals being approved]. To the first floor, a gallery landing provides access to a spacious double bedroom with full-width fitted wardrobes to one side, and featuring a character fireplace, and a second good sized bedroom to the rear, with a neighbouring bathroom. To the second floor, a spectacular attic room spans the entire floorspace - 27ft x 17 ft [7.7m x 5.2m]! This amazing room presently serves as a master bedroom, and features a fabulous exposed brick chimney with recess that currently provides pride of place for a king-sized bed. The high vaulted ceiling features original exposed timber beams and the elevated position provides super views of the Peak District to the front elevation . Weavers' properties were originally constructed to house weavers' families, as well as providing weaving workspace - the attics were originally utilised as the weaving rooms that interlocked the terraces to form a home-based factory system. The attic was converted to residential use many years ago and although the attic is served by a fixed staircase presently, this space does not conform to current building regulation standards, however, it does provide great potential to convert this historic space into further accommodation that could provide two additional double bedrooms, if so wished. To the outside at the immediate rear, a yard area leads to a small flight of steps to a useful brick store/outhouse and beyond provides access to an elevated 'hidden' garden. The garden is westerly facing and currently offers two patio areas separated by a turfed garden. A good degree of privacy is provided to the far rear. A gas combination heating system is installed, which provides central heating to the entire living accommodation, whilst also providing hot water. A convenient Google Nest system is currently installed, which allows remote control to the heating system. We feel this super, spacious home, will appeal to a wide audience - therefore, we recommend interested parties arrange a viewing appointment at their earliest convenience.
