Robsons have pleasure in offering for sale this truly stunning detached former
lock keepers cottage set in a fabulous rural waterside setting. This beautiful
home has been owned by the same family for over twenty years and the original
lock keepers cottage reputedly dates back to the mid 1850's and was owned by
the locally renowned Walker family.
The house opens into a spacious hallway with a beautiful feature fireplace and
to the right is a snug. To the left off the inner hall, are two further
bedrooms with incredible views over the gardens and stream to the rear, a
family bathroom, workshop and utility room.
The hall opens into an impressive conservatory which overlooks the
breathtaking garden. Through the inner hall is a sitting area with a feature
wood burner to enjoy cosy evenings which opens into the kitchen with ample
floor and wall units and integrated appliances.
A curved staircase leads to the mezzanine sitting room with feature fireplace
from which you can watch the boats pass by. There is a good sized principal
bedroom with double aspect windows and a range of fitted cupboards and ensuite
bathroom with a bath and spacious walk in shower.
