Set beside the Llangollen Canal with approximately 120ft of private frontage, this charming two‑bed semi offers rare waterside living and mooring rights. Extensive lawned gardens and a detached garage sit behind a private driveway, creating a peaceful, rural retreat about 2 miles from Nantwich. The house has been tastefully refurbished and extended by the current owners and feels warm and inviting throughout.
Principal rooms are generous for a cottage: a long living/garden room with working fireplace and glazed doors, and an open dining room flowing into a practical kitchen. The main bedroom is particularly large and could be split to create a third bedroom if required. Useful outbuildings include a workshop/utility store with power and a garage with additional parking and turning space.
Practical details for buyers: heating is by an oil‑fired boiler with radiators; drainage is via a shared septic tank; walls are original solid brick and assumed to lack cavity insulation. Mooring is offered subject to confirmation from the Canal & River Trust and carries an estimated annual charge of around £800. The property is offered freehold and chain free.
This will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with strong leisure appeal — boat owners, waterside lifestyle seekers or those wanting a peaceful country base within commuting distance of Crewe and Nantwich. The location is quiet with very low local crime, fast full‑fibre broadband and a car charging point, but expect some ongoing maintenance typical of older solid‑walled buildings and the long‑term costs of oil heating.
