Description

A superbly located three bedroom semi-detached property which fronts onto the Llangollen Canal and barely a stone’s throw from the iconic Chirk Aqueduct, a world heritage site.
This former Wharfman’s Victorian cottage has been run as a successful holiday letting for a number of years and combines a stunning setting with well planned living accommodation and large gardens.
The accommodation itself retains a number of characterful features and is warmed by a modern oil fired boiler with double glazing throughout. Off road parking is provided to the side and early inspection is highly recommended by the sole selling agent.
