It is always good to read or hear that Stockport is in the headlines across the country (well, within reason, only for a good news story) and when it comes to Stockport property market news, we are always interested in stories that capture the mood and attention of the nation. At Spencer Harvey, our approach leads us to think that there are no big or small customers, all customers are important and we do what we can to make sure people are happy and satisfied with the service we offer. Of course, it is fair to say that there are big and small houses in Stockport and it is a small Stockport property that is grabbing the attention right now.
The one bedroom cottage covers just 176 sq ft but what it lacks in size, it has made up for in column inches and conversations in recent times. There is a great deal of history behind this property in Edgeley, which was initially a stable but over the past 300 years, there have been a few changes and developments to the building! You’ll be glad to hear that it is no longer utilised as stables and the new owner wouldn’t have to share their living space with any animals or livestock. In fact, you may be pleasantly surprised at the modern style and fashion of the property which should provide most things that a homeowner is looking for.
What else do you need from a home?
The living room in the property has space for a sofa and there is also room for a modestly sized coffee table. You may not be having many dinner parties in the property but the kitchen will ensure that you can arrange a good meal. The bathroom has a shower and sink basin, so you will be able to get yourself washed and ready for whatever the world throws at you, so you will find that the basic requirements of a home are well covered in this property, even if the property itself doesn’t cover a great deal of area!
There is also a mezzanine bedroom but many people will find that the private garden is more to their liking. In fact, the garden seems to be more spacious than the home itself so if you don’t mind the ever-changing weather, you may find that this is a property that ticks all of your boxes while allowing you to enjoy a lot of fresh air.
Potential buyers will also be pleased to hear that the property is available for just £70,000 but the fact that the property isn’t considered to be a suitable security for a mortgage, making it a cash only purchase, may discount some would-be buyers.
At Spencer Harvey, we can’t promise you the smallest home in Stockport, but we can provide the biggest and best range of properties in the local area, so if you are looking for a home in this part of Greater Manchester, get in touch.
