Set on the edge of Parbold village with direct access to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, this two-bedroom cottage combines riverside charm with sensible modern upgrades. Recently refreshed throughout, it offers generous living space across 1,165 sq.ft including a converted loft and a well-insulated sun room that captures afternoon light. The brick-built garden lodge adds flexible ancillary accommodation for guests, a studio or home working space.
Practical improvements over the last decade include a new roof, an energy-efficient gas boiler, upgraded double glazing to the rear, a modern bathroom and a fully insulated conservatory roof. Off-street parking for 1–2 cars, a south-westerly landscaped garden and private mooring rights are notable lifestyle extras for waterside living. Tenure is freehold and council tax band is B.
Buyers should note the EPC rating is D, so while the property benefits from recent upgrades further energy improvements are possible. The plot is described as small-to-average with an adjoining neighbour, so it suits those seeking a characterful village home rather than a large rural estate. The lodge’s chimney is ready for a fireplace or wood burner to be fitted if desired.
This home will particularly suit first-time buyers or small families who value a quintessential canal-side address with useful outbuildings and straightforward, move-in condition. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the combination of character features, adaptable space and picturesque setting.
