A roomy five-bedroom semi-detached home set on a large, south-facing plot with uninterrupted countryside views. The house provides flexible family living across three reception rooms, a kitchen with utility and cloakroom, and generous bedrooms — ideal for a growing household wanting outdoor space and direct canal access.
The rear garden is a standout: extensive lawn, mature trees, pond and water features, several sheds, greenhouses, a brick-built workshop with water supply and a summerhouse overlooking the canal. There is driveway parking and a paved patio for easy outdoor entertaining. The peaceful village setting sits close to good primary and secondary schools and suits families who value space and nature.
Important practical points are clear: the original building is of non-standard construction (extensions were built with standard materials), so buyers should check mortgage availability and arrange specialist surveys. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, which can mean higher running costs compared with mains gas, and the property currently has an EPC rating of E. There is one bathroom serving five bedrooms which may need updating for modern family life.
Other considerations include a medium flood risk for the area and cavity walls with no known insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Overall, this house offers strong family potential and rare waterside gardens, but it suits purchasers prepared for inspection, possible refurbishment, and arranging suitable finance.
