Description

“Like pages in a history book, every terrace house tells a story of its own.”

Ideally located within walking distance of Buxton town centre, this attractive two-bedroom mid-terraced property offers accommodation over four floors, including two double bedrooms, spacious shower room, and useful cellar. Externally, there are enclosed yards to both the front and rear, making this an ideal home for first-time buyers or investors.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Situated in a central and convenient location, within walking distance of Buxton town centre and a wide range of local amenities, this attractive two-bedroom mid-terraced property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors.

The entrance porch leads into the welcoming living room, which in turn provides access to the kitchen. To the first floor is a spacious shower room and a double bedroom, while the second floor benefits from a large double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe area and useful eaves storage.
There is also excellent potential for further adaptation, with neighbouring properties on the street having converted the second floor to provide either two bedrooms or a double bedroom with en-suite facilities, subject to any necessary permissions.
The lower ground floor features a cellar, providing valuable additional storage space.

Externally, the property benefits from yard areas to both the front and rear, providing useful outdoor space.

Ideally suited to first-time buyers, investors and those seeking a well-located home.

Location - Bennett Street is a well-established residential street situated in a popular area of Buxton, offering a convenient setting for everyday living. The street is characterised by attractive traditional properties, many dating from the early 20th century, giving the area a distinctive period feel.

The property is well placed for access to Buxton town centre, with its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Buxton is renowned for its beautiful architecture, historic spa heritage and stunning Peak District surroundings, making it a particularly attractive location for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.

The nearby Peak District National Park provides an abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring the surrounding countryside, while Buxton's railway and road links provide convenient connections towards Manchester, Stockport and other surrounding towns and cities.

Bennett Street combines the character of an established residential neighbourhood with the convenience of being close to the amenities and attractions of central Buxton, making it an appealing location for a wide range of buyers.

Why We Love This Property! - We love this property for its fantastic central location, with a wide range of amenities all within easy walking distance. The street itself is a particularly appealing setting for first-time buyers and investors alike.
The accommodation is deceptively spacious and has been well maintained throughout, offering a comfortable and welcoming home with plenty to appreciate.
