The Wharf, Preston Brook, Runcorn, WA7

A beautiful and charming Grade II listed four bedroom detached property located in a prime position on the banks of the Bridgewater Canal. The property offers substantial and versatile living accommodation and sits on a generous plot spanning to around half an acre. The structure dates back to the late 18th Century and was originally three separate cottages before being converted into a single residence, and despite being improved and modernised in parts over the years the property still holds an abundance of original period and character features, many of them Victorian additions from the conversion.

Internally the property comprises a welcoming entrance hall holding a wealth of character features with a set of stairs to the first floor and built-in storage space. There are four reception rooms throughout the ground floor all of which offer ample space for furniture to suit various uses, with the lounge featuring a wood burning stove set into an exposed brick fireplace and a set of French patio doors to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive modern range of shaker-style units with granite worktops, a breakfast island, a set of high spec integral appliances and open access to the dining room.

To the first floor there are four spacious double sized bedrooms, three of which have built-in wardrobes, a dressing room which could be utilised as a bedroom, study or nursery, a bathroom, a shower room and a Jack & Jill bathroom serving two of the bedrooms.

The basement level offers excellent further living accommodation for versatile use, comprising a sitting/games room, a study, utility areas and a WC, and there is great potential to utilise this space as an annex ideal for family members or guests or even as a rental if desired.

Externally and to the front there is a small curtilage with wrought iron fencing and a pedestrian gate and paved pathways to the front entrance door. There is a courtyard for off-road parking from 'The Wharf' giving access to a detached brick-built garage and from here there is access to an inner courtyard. The rear garden is generously sized mostly laid with a well-manicured lawn which extends to Keckwick Brook and boasts two flagged stone patios ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining and a great range of well-stocked and established plants, shrubs, hedgerows and mature trees as well as sloped greenery with wooden fencing to the boundary.

The property is set within a semi-rural setting with lovely country views, canal walks and easy access to local shops, amenities and facilities. There are also excellent road and public transport links further afield into the likes of Warrington, Liverpool, Chester and further surrounding towns and cities.

Early viewing is highly recommended due to the property being realistically priced.
