Tucked away in the peaceful village of Preston on the Hill, this beautifully presented and wonderfully characterful one-bedroom first-floor apartment offers something rather special: the opportunity to enjoy a tranquil canal-side lifestyle, surrounded by open countryside and an abundance of nature. With 678 sq ft of beautifully arranged living space, a private balcony overlooking the Bridgewater Canal, two allocated parking spaces and beautifully maintained communal gardens, this is a home that combines charm and character with practicality and space. Step inside and the warm and welcoming feel of the apartment is immediately apparent. The generous open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, with a wonderful blend of traditional character and modern practicality. There is ample space for dining and entertaining, while the charming window seat provides the perfect place to sit with a morning coffee and enjoy the ever-changing view over the canal. The spacious living room is equally inviting, with French doors opening onto the private balcony. Step outside and you’ll find a wonderfully peaceful spot from which to watch the boats pass along the canal, enjoy the changing seasons and simply pause for a moment away from the bustle of everyday life. A generous hallway provides a lovely sense of space, leading to a well-proportioned bedroom with plenty of natural light and storage. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully finished shower room with quality fittings and a clean, contemporary feel. Outside, the appeal of this home really comes into its own. The apartment sits within beautifully maintained communal gardens, surrounded by open fields, the Bridgewater Canal and rolling Cheshire countryside. The towpath and surrounding countryside provide wonderful opportunities for peaceful walks straight from your door, while the canal and abundant wildlife create a wonderfully picturesque outlook throughout the seasons. Practicality has not been overlooked. The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces, additional visitor parking, a communal storage shed and newly fitted economical storage heaters. With an EPC rating of B, the apartment also offers excellent energy efficiency.  Whether you’re looking for a peaceful first home, a beautiful low-maintenance retreat, a commuter base or somewhere to enjoy a quieter pace of life, this charming canal-side apartment offers a rare combination of space, character, views and convenience. Here, the simple pleasures are on your doorstep: coffee overlooking the water, boats drifting gently along the canal, countryside walks from home and wildlife changing with the seasons. A truly special home in a wonderfully peaceful setting. Contact Ashtons Estate Agents, Widnes, to arrange your private viewing and experience the charm of Preston on the Hill for yourself.
