Set directly on the canal bank, this sympathetically renovated two-bedroom Victorian cottage combines period character with contemporary comforts. The open-plan sitting/dining room, new sash-style double glazing and modern kitchen create a bright, low-maintenance living space that capitalises on far-reaching waterside views. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, ready for immediate occupation.
Practical benefits include a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a versatile garden room with Velux, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C (71). The fully enclosed courtyard garden is small and easy to manage, making the house suitable for buyers who prefer minimal outdoor upkeep. Direct river access provides genuine lifestyle appeal for watersports, walks and riverside pubs close by.
Buyers should note a few material points: the plot is compact with only a small courtyard rather than a large garden, and on-street parking is immediate but unallocated. The terrace is solid brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, so there may be scope for improving thermal performance in future. Crime levels in the local area are above average; prospective purchasers should factor this into their decision.
This cottage will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or professionals seeking a characterful, city-centre home with excellent transport links and a unique waterside position. The combination of renovation work already completed and straightforward maintenance makes it an attractive, move-in-ready option with clear potential for further improvement if desired.
