A new property has come on the market in Merseyside that offers more than your average family home.
The four bedroom cottage is described as a ‘hidden gem and an oasis of space and privacy’ thanks to its unique canal side location.
Priced at £750,000, the property is found at Canal Bank, Polygons Hill Lane, right alongside the Leeds Liverpool canal, in Lydiate.
One of the main selling points of the house is the direct views over the canal and countryside beyond.
Canalside mooring is also possible, subject to application.
Other key features of the property include a games room and gym space, an indoor swimming pool with an entertainment area and the bonus of a paddock, two stables and a tack room.
Images on Rightmove show that the property is nestled down a track road, behind an electric gate.
The first floor boasts a large L shaped lounge with views over the canal and patio doors and slide windows that open onto the pool complex.
Off the lounge is a striking dining room with a spiral staircase and a kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances.
Taking up the majority of the lower space in the house is the large swimming pool complex, complete with changing and shower facilities and an entertainment area.
This area has a heated pool and a diving board and is fully enclosed, to be enjoyed all year around.
A further side room with a patio leading into the garden is currently being used as a games room and gym space.
But this space has the potential to be transformed into a further bedroom or lounge area.
A spiral staircase leads up to the first floor where all four of the bedrooms can be found.
Two of the bedrooms have en suite facilities, two further bedrooms have access to the family bathroom.
The most impressive room is the master that benefits from French doors leading out to rooftop seating areas.
It’s described as an ‘early morning suntrap’ and the ‘perfect spot for alfresco breakfast whilst admiring the views beyond.’
Inside the room is a separate dressing area with fitted mirrored wardrobes and a dressing table, leading onto the ensuite.
Outside the property buyers will find ‘beautifully’ kept gardens with mature shrubs, trees, flower borders, a vegetable patch and greenhouse.
The Ian Anthony Estates listing reads: "Set in a secluded location, immediately alongside the Leeds Liverpool canal in Lydiate, this four bedroomed detached house is a hidden gem and an oasis of space and privacy.
"The property sits on approximately one acre of extensive mature gardens, an indoor heated swimming pool and leisure complex, patio, paddock with stables, generous parking and a generous double garage.
"This home offers so much space, fun and privacy; the indoor heated swimming pool and games complex providing plenty of room in which to relax and entertain."
