Set on the towpath near Barbridge and a short drive from Nantwich, this three-storey, two-bedroom terraced house offers genuine scope for improvement and character living. Original fireplaces, cast-iron details and high ceilings provide an attractive period canvas for a sympathetic renovation. The second-floor roof terrace overlooks the small gardens and canal, a rare perk in this location.
The property is offered for sale at public auction on 1 December 2025. Bidders should note this is a firm legal purchase and a buyer’s administration fee of £1,800 (inc VAT) applies. The sale will be subject to auction conditions and interested parties should obtain and study the legal pack and seek independent legal and technical advice before bidding.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, a large bathroom with a period suite and double glazing (install date unknown). The solid-brick walls suggest traditional construction but likely lack modern cavity insulation. There is clear potential to extend or reconfigure accommodation, subject to planning consent.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character property to restore, investors targeting a canalside cottage, or first-time buyers prepared to carry out improvement work. The location benefits from very low local crime, fast broadband availability and nearby schools and amenities. Flood risk is recorded as none.
