St Martins Moor, St Martins, Oswestry, Shropshire

The property
Puddleduck Cottage is a handsome detached two storey stone cottage found in a picturesque location overlooking the Shropshire Union Canal. The charming cottage retains many of its original features and offers well balanced accommodation situated on the banks of the Llangollen Canal, Puddleduck Cottage has idyllic waterside and rural views that can be enjoyed from most of the rooms. Rather uniquely, the cottage retains a mooring option nearby.

The fitted kitchen with granite worktop is open plan into a delightful breakfast area with beamed ceiling and exposed stone walls. The utility room with stable door accessing the front garden is found adjacent to the kitchen, whilst a study is adjacent to the dining area. Across the spacious entrance hallway is the sitting room with carpeted floors and a log burning stove. A stunning garden room is to the side of the property and benefits from inspiring canal and garden views. The cloakroom completes the ground floor accomodation.

There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, all of which are afforded a fantastic feeling of space due to the pitched ceilings. The principal bedroom is most notable, with a superb exposed A-frame gable, generous dressing area and en suite bathroom.

Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating. Solar panels on south facing roof.

Outside
Puddleduck Cottage has a pretty walled garden to the front of the property, with terraced area overlooking the canal. There is a gated tarmac parking area with double garage and storage shed located before the property.

Mooring rights are found on the opposite bank to Puddleduck Cottage and can be accessed by passing up the steps and over the small bridge.

Agents note: The agent understands that there is a right of way across the far bank to access the mooring rights. There is no legal arrangement for the ongoing maintenance of this access.
