The house, has been home to the current owners for some forty years. During their ownership they have maintained the property beautifully and have made many improvements, not least of all a carefully planned extension which has significantly enhanced the accommodation.

The accommodation is of particularly comfortable proportions, exudes charm and character throughout and is currently arranged to provide a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room with its cosy wood burning stove and views over the canal, dining room, also with a wood burner, open plan to the kitchen breakfast room and leading to the conservatory. There is also a study, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and separate w.c., the principal bedroom with dressing room, en suite shower room and balcony overlooking the canal.

The gardens are an absolute delight with mature, well considered planting schemes, developed over forty years, affording a great deal of privacy to the setting and creating a particularly special environment for alfresco entertaining.
