A quaint cottage has come up for grabs in a picturesque Greater Manchester village with a £450,000 price tag. Full of character and charm, the quirky three-bed terraced house in Worsley, Salford has been picked as our Property of the Week. Each week our MEN Property Writer searches Zoopla on the lookout for a stand-out abode, whether that be for its eye-catching interior, affordable price, grand size or sought-after location.

Described as a ‘period home of dreams’, the cottage has a Grade II-listing, making it a structure of ‘special interest’ with historical or architectural significance which ‘must be preserved.’ It retains many original features from its exposed wooden beams to its traditional cottage windows and open fire.

It is set across three floors, with a cosy lounge with a feature open fireplace, separate dining room and green farmhouse-style kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor of the period property there is an additional sitting room, which could be converted into an additional bedroom if required, and a stunning family bathroom.

Up on the top floor are two double fitted bedrooms. It also features a gorgeous garden which offers an idyllic space for relaxing and al-fresco dining. There is also an outbuilding which could be turned into a workshop, studio, gym or home office.

The cottage is set at the heart of Worsley village, an area steeped in history with an array of local amenities including well renowned public and private schools, independent boutique shops, restaurants, bars and eateries, as well as a host of beautiful canal side and woodland walks.

This pretty village set on the Bridgewater Canal became a designated conservation area in the 1960s and its landmarks include Worsley Delph and the mock Tudor Packet House. RHS Bridgewater and Monton village are also close by, and the home is well placed near to major transport links making it ideal for travelling into Manchester City Centre, Media City, the Trafford Centre and across the north west.
