Nantwich Road, Wardle, CW5

Set in the charming village of Wardle, this characterful semi-detached cottage offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace waterside living, with its rear garden opening directly onto the Shropshire Union Canal and benefitting from rare private mooring which measures approximately 80’ (for reference the largest narrow boat allowed on the canal system is 72’). For boating enthusiasts, there are seven different canal routes within a relatively short distance from the property which is quite unusual and a real bonus!

Located on the main road through the village, the home enjoys excellent accessibility, while triple glazing to the front ensures a peaceful interior environment. With mooring facilities, an electric hook-up for boat charging, and a chain-free sale, this is a unique property ideal for lovers of rural life.

Inside, the home is both functional and full of character. The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room features a modern 4-zone induction hob, electric oven, integrated fridge, and a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units. A breakfast bar adds convenience for informal dining, and a walk-in pantry/larder offers valuable additional storage. The property is serviced by LPG gas, providing reliable heating throughout the home.

The lounge is warm and inviting, with a brick-surround gas fire as a central focal point. Large sliding glass doors to the rear frame spectacular views of the garden and canal, flooding the room with natural light and connecting the living space to the outdoors.

A separate dining room provides versatility—ideal as a formal dining area, creative studio, office, or playroom—while a small rear conservatory offers the perfect spot to enjoy the tranquillity of canal-side life and watch passing boats.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is fitted with mirrored built-in wardrobes, and the second bedroom also benefits from built-in storage and dual aspect windows for a light and airy feel. The third bedroom, overlooking the canal, makes an ideal guest room or peaceful study. The family bathroom retains its original avocado green suite, including bath, WC, bidet, and wash hand basin—adding a touch of vintage charm.

Despite its position on the main road, triple glazing to the front provides excellent sound insulation, while double glazing to the rear preserves warmth and canal views.

Outside, the beautiful rear garden is the true jewel of the property. A peaceful retreat, it offers private mooring —a highly sought-after feature—complete with an electric connection for boat charging. Whether you're an active boater or simply wish to enjoy the serenity of waterside living, this setting is unmatched.

To the side, a double garage with electronically operated roller shutter door and includes a WC, plumbing for a washing machine, and loft storage, making it ideal as a workshop, hobby space, or potential conversion (subject to planning).

This rare canal-side cottage offers a perfect balance of rural charm and modern comfort, with versatile living spaces and the kind of water access few properties can offer. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, an active boating base, or a unique lifestyle home, this property ticks every box.
