Canal Cottage, Nantwich Road, Minshull Vernon, CW10 0LR

Canal Cottage is a particularly appealing period house, combining character, elevated views and an exceptional canal side setting. With flexible accommodation arranged over three floors.

Description Occupying an attractive and elevated position off Nantwich Road, Minshull Vernon, Canal Cottage enjoys a desirable south facing aspect and far reaching views across open Cheshire countryside.

Originally dating from the early 1900s, the property has been carefully and thoughtfully extended in 2001 and 2010, creating generous and flexible accommodation that successfully blends period character with modern functionality.

The setting is a particular highlight.

The house is positioned alongside the canal, which provides a picturesque waterside outlook, while surrounding farmland ensures a high degree of privacy and a genuine sense of rural seclusion.

Long, uninterrupted sightlines across open fields, mature tree belts and gently rolling countryside reinforce the feeling of space and tranquillity, with minimal neighbouring development and no immediate overlooking.

Despite its peaceful position, the property remains well placed for access to neighbouring villages and nearby market towns, offering an appealing balance between countryside living and everyday convenience.

The house extends to approximately 2,156 sq ft of internal accommodation, arranged over three floors, with a layout that makes excellent use of the elevated setting.

The ground floor provides a practical entrance level, centred around a welcoming reception hall.

This level offers useful ancillary accommodation including a playroom, ideal as a family space, home office or snug, together with a substantial store room, allowing for flexibility and adaptability to suit modern living requirements.

The first floor forms the principal living level of the house and is arranged to take full advantage of the open outlook.

A generously proportioned living room enjoys excellent natural light and elevated views across the surrounding countryside and canal, and features an attractive open fireplace.

Adjoining this is a separate dining room, well suited to formal dining and entertaining.

The well appointed kitchen/breakfast room, added as part of the 2001 extension, provides a practical and sociable everyday living space, with direct connection to the main reception rooms.

The original staircase provides a strong architectural feature linking all floors and retaining the period character of the house.

The second floor is dedicated to bedroom accommodation and offers four well balanced bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom.

The remaining bedrooms are all of good proportion and are served by both a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

The layout allows for a clear separation between living and sleeping accommodation, enhancing privacy and comfort.

The property is complemented by a detached garage, together with a further outbuilding and a summer house with electricity connected.

These spaces provide excellent versatility, suitable for storage, home working, workshops or leisure use.

The gardens sit comfortably within the wider rural landscape and enjoy open aspects on all sides.

The canal frontage and surrounding countryside create an attractive and peaceful setting, with the grounds offering both privacy and a strong visual connection to the landscape beyond.
