Thomas Samuel - this could be yours
A truly special canal side home with breath-taking open views, exceptional versatility and beautifully extended family living.
Set within an idyllic position backing directly onto the canal bank, this substantially extended semi-detached home offers an incredibly rare lifestyle opportunity. From peaceful waterside evenings beneath the covered seating area to uninterrupted countryside views stretching for miles, the setting here is simply outstanding.
The property itself has been thoughtfully transformed into a bright, modern and highly versatile home, perfectly suited to growing families, entertaining and even multi-generational living.
To the front, a large driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, leading into a welcoming porch and bright entrance hall with a light and airy feel throughout. The property also benefits from excellent transport links with easy access to major motorways, while the train station is just a two-minute walk away, making it ideal for commuters.
Positioned to the front of the home is an impressive main living room. Generous in size and flooded with natural light from skylights and French doors to the rear, this stunning space also features a log burner, creating the perfect balance of cosy and contemporary.
At the heart of the home sits the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Beautifully designed with modern white cabinetry, contrasting black matte hardware, central island seating, space for a Range Master cooker and American-style fridge freezer, this room has clearly been created for modern family life. Skylights and two sets of full-height sliding doors flood the space with natural light while seamlessly connecting the indoors with the garden and views beyond. In total, the home features four sets of sliding doors opening directly onto the garden, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle experience.
The ground floor continues to impress with an additional lounge area overlooking the garden, a separate playroom, a stylish utility room with grey cabinetry, ground floor WC and internal access to the garage storage space. The utility room has also been designed with practicality in mind and can easily function as a boot room, offering extensive storage, shelving and hanging space with convenient access through the garage. The garage itself benefits from an electric door for ease of access.
A further inner hallway leads to a highly versatile section of the home comprising a ground floor bedroom, office, shower room with underfloor heating and games room with direct garden access. With side access already in place, this area offers excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or even independent teenage space.
To the first floor are four further bedrooms and a modern three-piece family bathroom.
Externally, the rear garden is where this property truly becomes unforgettable. Spacious, private and beautifully positioned, the south-facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and into the late evening. The garden leads directly onto the canal bank through a gated entrance, offering both security and convenience for families with children or pets. A covered seating area has been perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, watch the narrowboats drift by and take in the uninterrupted panoramic field views that make this setting so extraordinary. The outdoor space has also been thoughtfully equipped with power and cable access along the canal bank, ideal for garden lighting, music and entertaining. Two substantial wraparound patio areas further enhance the outdoor living experience.
Beyond the home itself, the property enjoys a position on a sought-after street known for its lovely sense of community and friendly neighbours, including an active residents’ WhatsApp group which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
A home that offers far more than square footage alone, this is a property centred around lifestyle, tranquillity and flexibility in one of the most picturesque settings imaginable
