Unique canalside cottage near Worksop where ducks swim past your front door

It’s not often you get ducks swimming serenely past your front door. But then it’s not often you get the chance to live in a place like this.

A unique, two-bedroom country cottage, overlooking Chesterfield Canal, in the picture-postcard hamlet of Turnerwood at Thorpe Salvin, near Worksop.

Turnerwood straddles a basin for mooring boats on the canal. Nearby are magnificent locks and peaceful countryside, ideal for terrific walks.

For those of you who don’t know it, Thorpe Salvin is a lovely village of no more than 500 people, sitting between Worksop and Harthill on the Nottinghamshire/South Yorkshire border.

It all adds up to a dream location for a property that is on the market with estate agents Yopa for offers in the region of £200,000.

To get a full flavour of the cottage, please flick through our photo gallery. But in brief, it spans four floors, with a lounge and dining room on the ground floor and a kitchen, inner hallway and coal store in the basement.

The first floor comprises a landing, the first bedroom and a bathroom, while the second floor houses the second bedroom.

A mature front garden, with a variety of plants, flowers, shrub borders, a wooden fence and hedge, is canalside.

Another garden at the back is enclosed and features plants, shrubs, flowers, a paved patio area, a wooden garden shed and a brick-built store, all overlooking countryside.

It is a remarkable place. Visit the Zoopla website here for more information.

Let's begin our tour of the Turnerwood cottage in the charming lounge, the room you enter through the double-glazed front door. Its wooden laminate floor and ceiling with exposed beams give it plenty of character.
