A rare canal-side cottage set on over a third of an acre, fully renovated and extended to a high standard. The home combines period character with contemporary fittings: a large, luxury kitchen with granite worktops, a 31ft lounge with log burner and generous natural light throughout. The master suite includes a four-piece en suite and Juliet balcony; three further double bedrooms enjoy canal views.
Outdoor space is a standout: a private south-west facing garden, landscaped patios, greenhouse, wood store and a substantial cobbled driveway leading to an attached garage. The setting is peaceful and rural with scenic views across the Leeds Liverpool Canal towards North Wales and Snowdonia on clear days.
Practical details are transparent: the house has a new roof, double glazing (post-2002), external wall insulation and an EPC of 71 (C) with potential to improve. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; council tax is above average and the property carries a medium flood risk — factors to consider for running costs and insurance.
Access and location notes: the property sits in an isolated/hamlet setting with excellent mobile and fast broadband, low local crime, and rural character. The listing states access via the canal towpath only; prospective buyers should confirm vehicle access and legal access rights before offer. Tenure is freehold.
