ONE COCKPIT
FIELDEN SQUARE, TODMORDEN, OL14 6LY

GUIDE PRICE £265,000

This interesting and spacious restored period property of character is situated in the oldest, most historic part of Todmorden. The Cockpit, set in a conservation area, with its cobbled courtyard, is believed to date back to the C18. The main house was originally a cotton warehouse; the winding gear has been retained as a feature on the first floor landing. The integral two storey wing was originally a Dame School and is currently used as an artist studio with workshop below. (Planning permission has been granted to subdivide the property thus creating a two bedroom dwelling from the integral wing).

In immaculate condition the property has hardwood windows (the majority double glazed). To the side elevation is an attractive galvanized steel balcony accessed via double doors from the sitting room (the original mill door was used for bales of cotton). There is a planted courtyard garden area with parking and a double integral garage with automatic doors.

Paved garden on two levels with a wooden arbour and metal garden railings and gates.

Internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the unique space and internal layout
