Tucked away in the sought-after canalside setting of Withybed Green, this beautifully characterful end-of-terrace cottage offers something genuinely rare: a home with real history, a self-contained annexe, and a garden that dwarfs anything else in the neighbourhood. The main house offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, along with a generous lounge and separate dining space — ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the character-filled rooms that run throughout. A striking exposed brick chimney breast, uncovered during renovation work, has been carefully restored and now forms a real focal point of the lounge. The property has been thoughtfully modernised from top to bottom — new windows and flooring throughout — while retaining the charm and character that makes it so special. Crucially, the work has been done with a light touch, so the cottage still feels like a genuine period home rather than a stripped-back new build. A fantastic addition is the fully self-contained annexe, comprising its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom — perfect for multi-generational living, a home office/guest suite, or an Airbnb income opportunity. Outside, the garden is exceptionally generous — significantly larger than any of the surrounding properties — backing onto open fields where deer, foxes and rabbits are regular visitors, with the nearby canal adding to the tranquil, semi-rural feel. To the front, a driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles, again far more generous than neighbouring homes. We asked them what made them buy it... "It's a wonderful location, full of character, and the garden is massive compared to all the neighbouring properties. Honestly, it's a lifestyle living here — you're not just living in a normal house. Every day feels like a Sunday; it feels like you're on holiday every day. At night you can see deer, foxes and rabbits out over the fields at the back, near the canal." What about the house itself? "The property has been ripped apart from head to toe, but it's kept its original character throughout. When we went to do some work in the lounge, we discovered the chimney breast had been covered up — we uncovered it, kept it as exposed brick and painted it. We've modernised it, but not too much. New windows throughout, new flooring throughout. It's a real village setting, so there's a great, friendly community. And the driveway is much bigger than the neighbouring properties too." Agent Notes "There's so much character to this home, and family history comes with the property — it takes you back years, with stories to tell. It's a fantastic option for families, multi-generational living, or couples looking for a peaceful, quiet location with real charm."
