This is mainly down to the fact that as this cottage not only fronts the Shropshire Union canal, it also occupies a substantial plot (in excess of 4 acres), suggesting appeal to those with horses and ponies...... not that you would particularly want your animals to drink from the canal!
For many, the delightful setting will be sheer bliss and not only that, but the current owners have also spent a great deal of money, blood, sweat and tears transforming the property into the delightful property that we see today.
It is not perfect however and it is likely that the next buyer will want to upgrade the kitchen/breakfast room (especially when compared to the fabulous, refitted family bathroom!). For all that, the property offers family sized accommodation and as previously mentioned, is likely to appeal to those enjoying equine pursuits. Above and beyond everything though, it is the location that is the real draw.
Not only does it back onto open fields but follow the access road (and canal) to numerous public footpaths and tracks that provide access to miles of beautiful rolling countryside including Whixall/Bettisfield Mosses nature reserve, bridleways, providing hours of walks (and outriding for those with horses), confirming that this really is Paradise! Opposite the canal is a nature reserve which lends itself to provide a range of habitats for a variety of wildlife species. It is hard to believe that you are only a few minutes driving distance from Whitchurch with its associated shops, schools and amenities.
Needless to say, an internal inspection is strongly recommended!
