A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A FOUR BEDROOM DETACHED WATERSIDE PROPERTY WITH STUNNING VIEWS OVER WOOLSTON LOCK, OFFERED FOR SALE WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Situated in a highly sought after and rarely available position directly adjacent to Woolston Lock, Lock Cottage is an impressive four bedroom detached property arranged over three floors and enjoying stunning views across the water.

Whilst the property would benefit from a programme of renovation and modernisation, it offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers to create a substantial and highly individual family home in a truly enviable waterside location. Properties along this particular row rarely come to the market, making this an exciting opportunity for those looking for something a little different.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, spacious sitting room, kitchen with adjoining dining room, separate study and downstairs WC.

To the first floor there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite facilities.

The top floor provides a further double bedroom together with a separate bathroom, creating a versatile additional level of accommodation ideal for guests, older children or those requiring additional privacy.

Externally, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking, an attached garage and a rear garden, whilst the enviable position adjoining Woolston Lock provides beautiful waterside views.

Located in this unique and picturesque setting, the property offers the rare combination of a substantial detached home, excellent potential for improvement and an exceptional waterside outlook.

Offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN, early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the position, accommodation and potential this unique property has to offer.
