Nestled along the serene Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, this unique four-bedroom cottage offers not just a home, but an investment opportunity with significant potential. The property spans approximately 1.47 acres and features an impressive 385 meters of canal frontage, allowing for the possibility of establishing up to 19 moorings. This presents a rare chance to blend residential living with a thriving business in the form of an operational mooring venture.
The traditional cottage is well-built with rendered masonry under a tiled roof, showcasing spacious and versatile interiors that could benefit from modern upgrades. All main living areas are generously proportioned, featuring a welcoming entrance/dining room, a large sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, and a snug lounge that boasts a charming brick fireplace. The kitchen retains traditional character while offering views across the expansive grounds.
The property also includes multiple outbuildings such as garages and a workshop, providing ample storage or workspace for particular hobbies or business activities. With utilities already in place—mains electricity, water, LPG heating, and superfast broadband—renovation efforts could focus on aesthetic updates and efficiency improvements.
While currently operated at low intensity with established income from moorings generating an approximate £34,371 turnover annually, there is considerable scope for expansion and optimization to transform this into a high-performing enterprise. Possible avenues include increasing occupancy rates, offering boat repair services, or expanding into leisure packages.
For those seeking both a tranquil lifestyle beside the water and an entrepreneurial opportunity within reach of urban amenities in Kingswinford and nearby Birmingham, this property provides compelling potential for growth.
