A vacant, Grade II-listed cottage in Oldham, England, will be renovated and transformed into a holiday let for up to six people. The project, approved by Oldham Council, aims to restore the 120-year-old building, which has fallen into disrepair. Extensive renovations will include fixing the roof, updating interior layouts, and replacing windows and doors. Despite opposition from Saddleworth Parish Council, Oldham councillors approved the plans, citing the building's lack of outdoor space and the benefits of supporting local tourism.
A Grade II-listed cottage in Oldham that is currently ‘uninhabitable’ could soon receive a new lease of life.
The cottage overlooks a vast green space, with views towards the Peak District to the east. But years of standing vacant has left the house in a ‘derelict state’, with a partially collapsed roof and water ingress affecting the property, according to a report by Caroline Tamworth Planning. The plans include extensive renovation works on the inside and outside, from fixing up the roof and changing interior wall layouts to replacing the windows and doors for newer, better insulated models.
