Seller Insight

The current owner of Wharfinger Cottage comments,

“What attracted us to Wharfinger Cottage is the location. It’s beautiful and has brilliant horse riding on the doorstep which is exactly what I wanted. Every morning, I wake up and feel like I’m in a holiday home, I love looking out the window and seeing the canal and the amazing wildlife that comes with it, it makes me very happy .

Among the many delightful spots within the home, two stand out as personal favourites. I love the cosy fireplace on the ground floor and the ‘Original Lock’ adds a touch of history and character, reminding us of the property’s unique heritage. Another one of the standout features of this home is undoubtedly the sandstone wall that graces its interior. It not only adds visual appeal but also creates gorgeous shadows when illuminated at night”.*
