The last list of Canalside Homes for Sale in the Midlands (17 March 2023)
This is the last Wales & Midlands Canalside Homes list in which I repeated all available properties weekly. There is no need to browse my canalside lists further back than this.
Welcome to the latest Canalside Homes list! There are some lovely new ones this week, but no price reductions. Remember, if you view any of the properties below and meet the owners, please do mention me. I won't get any commission as I'm not the estate agent, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to be credited!
Today's List
£2,350,000, Bucket Lock Cottage, Yarningale Lane, Claverdon, Warwickshire, CV35 8HW. This has been on the market before, and I don't know the history of the previous sale attempt, but I know that the present owners bought it in 2014 for £1,190,000.

The property has a long frontage to the towpath. (Heenay Joshi).

£775,000, King Richard's Wharf, Station Road, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, CV13 0PG. This is an example of one of the houses on this development.

£700,000 (was £750,000), 20 Symphony Court, Birmingham, West Midlands B16 8AD. This is a favourite terrace of mine, on the Birmingham Canal Old Line, and this particular three bedroom townhouse doesn't disappoint, with its juliet balconies and a private mooring! (Fine and Country).

£650,000, 27 Stourton Crescent, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY7 6RR. Four bedroom detached house backing onto the offside of the Stourbridge Canal. Looks like there could be good mooring potential if it weren't for the trees which may stop you from getting close to the bank. (The Avenue).

£499,995 (was £500,000), New Wharf, Tardebigge, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B60 1NF. Terraced house with views over the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.

£435,000 Waters Edge, 62 Albany Drive, Rugeley, WS15 2HP, a semi-detached house with impressive views from the back garden over the Trent and Mersey Canal at Brindley Bank Aqueduct. I advise checking the title of the ¾ acre land by the canal. The agent mentions mooring potential, but I would be very surprised if the CRT permitted mooring on a sharp corner like this. (Connells).
£435,000 5 Warehouse Cottages, Wolseley Bridge, Little Haywood, ST17 0XJ, Victorian detached cottage with garden directly adjoining the offside edge of the Trent and Mersey Canal. It looks as if there is good potential for a short mooring.  (John German).
£420,000, Robin Hill, Muckley Corner, Walsall Road, Lichfield, WS14 0BG. Three bedroom detached house, with an agricultural restriction, in need of renovation and modernisation. The house sits in a long canalside plot which, when restored, will lie beside the Lichfield Canal near Muckley Corner Wharf. (Bagshaws).

£400,000 52 Woodend Road, Walsall, WS5 3BG, C20 semi-detached house backing onto the offside of the Rushall Canal. It is separated from the canal by a narrow strip, but it is worth pursuing the possibility of mooring here. (Century 21).
£399,995, King Richard's Wharf, Station Road, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, CV13 0PG. This is an example of one of the 'Ford' type houses on this development. It looks as if three Fords back onto the Ashby Canal. The site is within a few steps of Bosworth Marina. Unfortunately they don't specify which plot each advertisement refers to. (Fox Sales and Lettings).

(Fox Sales and Lettings).
£375,000. Chatsworth Avenue, Great Barr, Birmingham, B43 6QL. A four bedroom mid terrace house backing onto the offside edge of the Tame Valley Canal, but separated from the canal by a strip of land. This is probably CRT owned so there may be potential for a ground lease to bridge the gap. (Acres).
£375,000, King Richard's Wharf, Station Road, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, CV13 0PG. This is an example of one of the 'Worsley' type houses on this development.

£370,000 112 Chesterfield Road, Lichfield, WS14 0AA, whilst this is no longer canalside, and the restoration of the Lichfield Canal will follow a different route entirely, I wanted to include this one as it is steeped in canal history. (C Residential).
£365,000, 21 Argyle Close, Wordsley, DY8 4XT. Three bedroom detached house with views to the front over the Canal. (Hunters).
£364,995, The Moorings, Moors Lane, Houlton, Rugby, plot number not given. A three or four bedroom house with views over the Oxford Canal. (Carter and King).

£352,500, King Richard's Wharf, Station Road, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, CV13 0PG. This is an example of one of the 'Cole' type two bed bungalows on this development.

(Fox Sales and Lettings).
£350,000, Armstrong Close, Audlem, Cheshire. Four bedroom detached house backing onto the Shropshire Union Canal in an elevated position. (James du Pavey).
£350,000, Carradale, 29 Salop Road, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 7EF. The agent states that there are mooring rights on the Montgomery Canal, however this part of the canal is not yet joined to the network. (M0rris Marshall and Poole).
£350,000, 27 Leigh Crescent, Long Itchington, Southam, CV47 9QS. A development site with planning to remove garages and build three canalside houses overlooking Itchington Bottom Lock on the Grand Union Canal.
£350,000, 41 Lathe Way, Erdington, B24 0SD, detached C21 house facing the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The area is semi-industrial but the outlook over the canal is surprisingly green. Google incorrectly calls the road Cincinnati Drive, and I have submitted a report. (Acres).
£350,000, 41 Lathe Way, Erdington, B24 0SD, detached C21 house facing the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The area is semi-industrial but the outlook over the canal is surprisingly green. Google incorrectly calls the road Cincinnati Drive, and I have submitted a report. (Paul Carr).
£350,000, 19 Grosvenor Close, Glen Parva. Three bedroom semi on the offside edge of the Grand Union Leicester Line. The garden abutts the canal bank so it's worth investigating the possibility of an offside edge mooring here! (haart).
£350,000 10 Bridgewater Road, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2GD, detached C21 house with the side of the garden adjoining the offside of the Trent and Mersey Canal. There is a small strip of land between the garden and the canal, and the canal narrows a bit here, but there may still be some potential for a mooring subject to CRT approval. If not, Shobnall Marina is a short walk away. (Your Move). I thought this house looked lovely from the outside, and it's in a very pleasant cul-de-sac. The only negative is that there's just a bit of road noise here from the A38.
£349,950, 146 Bridge Street, Long Eaton, NG10 4QR. A recently built four bedroom house backing onto the tree lined offside edge of the Erewash Canal. (Wallace Jones).
£345,000, 53 Bridge Street, Warwick, CV34 5PD. Semi detached house backing onto the Grand Union Canal (although it looks as if part of the garden may be adverse possession). (Complete Estate Agents).
£340,000 55 Dyott Avenue, Whittington, Lichfield, semi-detached C20 house in a well-regarded village, backing onto the offside bank of the Coventry Canal. I imagine that the proximity to a small bridge will preclude a mooring, however the position is ideal for soaking up the view and as a launch point for paddlers. (Downes and Daughters).
£340,000 Maybridge, Old Kingsbury Road, Minworth, B76 9AE, link-detached C20 house (looks easy to separate STPP) with a garden backing onto the towpath of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. Your solicitor would need to check the Land Registry regarding the edges of the garden, which may or may not have full title. (Paul Carr).
£330,000. Bridge Street, Warwick. Three bedroom semi-detached backing onto the Grand Union Canal on the towpath side.
£325,000, 96 Grove Road, Ansty, CV7 9JE. Three bedroom bungalow with outlook to the front across a culdesac to the Coventry Canal. Rather close to the motorway, sadly. (Suzanne Regan).

£300,000 Land at 1 Doris Croft, Dog Lane, Tamworth Road, Amington, B77 4AH, with planning for two houses, one of which will back on to the Coventry Canal offside edge. The land is separated from the canal bank by a narrow strip, probably CRT owned, so it may be worth discussing the possibility of a mooring. The original Edwardian house is available separately at £325k but this will lose its canalside garden if the building plot to the rear is developed. (Mark Evans).
£295,000, 9 Jubilee Terrace, Shaw Lane, Stoke Prior. Three bedroom mid terraced house adjoining a 'private towpath' on the offside edge, with possible potential for a teeny tiny mooring on the Wocester and Birmingham Canal.
£290,000 87 Torc Avenue, Amington, B77 3ER, C20 detached house with a long stretch of garden adjoining the offside bank of the Coventry Canal. There is clear potential for mooring subject to CRT approval, but as with many canalside properties it looks as if the CRT has retained a strip of land on the bank. (Taylor Cole).
£290,000 87 Torc Avenue, Amington, B77 3ER, C20 detached house with a long stretch of garden adjoining the offside bank of the Coventry Canal. There is clear potential for mooring subject to CRT approval, but as with many canalside properties it looks as if the CRT has retained a strip of land on the bank. (Mark Webster).
£285,000 Waters Edge, Handsacre, Rugeley. Overlooks the Trent and Mersey Canal to the front.
£285,000 Old Eaton Road, Rugeley. Four bedroom semi detached house backing onto the Trent and Mersey Canal offside edge. Looks as it there may be potential for a short mooring.
£280,000, Northwick Terrace, Bilston. Med terraced townhouse with views to the front over the Bradley Arm Canal.
£280,000, 42 Barrow Close, Walsall, WS9 9BS. A four bedroom townhouse fronting onto the offside bank of the Daw End Branch Canal. Just across the footpath to the front door, there's a small canalside garden which is separated from the canal by a CRT owned strip of land. This ga isrden on a bend in the canal, so in my opinion a even a short mooring here is rather unlikely. However, it might be suitable for paddlers who want to launch from the garden. (Connells).
£275,000, Calley Close, Tipton, DY4. (Paul Dubberley). Canal views to the front.
£275,000, Electric Wharf, Coventry, CV1 4HA. Three bedroom tenanted townhouse with a balcony overlooking the approach to the Coventry Canal Basin.
£275,000, 59 Tamworth Road, Amington, B77 3BS, although at first glance it looks detached, this is actually a C20 semi-detached house, with a long narrow garden split in two by the drive to the property on its left. The rear section of garden backs onto the Coventry Canal. There is clear potential for a short mooring subject to CRT approval, but the garden is separated from the canal bank by two strips of land, the title of which would need to be checked. (Purple Bricks).
£275,000. Shirbourne, Kingsbury Road, Minworth, West Midlands, B76. A three bedroom sem-detached house backing onto the towpath of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. No mooring. (Dixons).

£249,950, 5 June Crescent, Amington, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B77 3BH. A three bedroom semi-detached house backing onto the towpath of the Coventry Canal. No mooring. (Wilkins).
£245,000 8 Bridgewater Road, Burton-on-Trent, DE14 2GD, detached C21 house, backing onto the Trent and Mersey Canal with a small strip (probably CRT owned) separating the garden from the canal bank. The canal narrows a bit here, but there may still be some potential for a mooring subject to CRT approval. If not, Shobnall Marina is a short walk away. This house in a very pleasant cul-de-sac. The only negative is that there's just a bit of road noise here from the A38. (Nicholas Humphreys).
£245,000 103 Tamworth Road, Amington, B77 3BY, 1920-30s semi with a garden backing onto the offside edge of the Coventry Canal. Potential for a really tiny mooring! (Hunters).

£240,000, 42 Kingsmead, Stretton, Burton-on-Trent, DE13 0FQ. This four bedroom townhouse is set in a cul-de-sac. It is set side on to the Trent and Mersey Canal, and although it is one house away from the canal, it enjoys good views, if somewhat urban, over the canal. As with many properties in Burton, the A38 is not far away, so there may be some road noise. However, there are lots of trees between the road and the estate. There is a small bridge nearby but it is closed to traffic so overall this should be a fairly quiet spot. (Crew Partnership).
£230,000, Crown Drive, Malkins Bank, Sandbach. Views to the front over the Trent and Mersey Canal.
£227,500 Plot 115, Tolsons Mill, Lichfield Street, Fazeley, B78, mews house, views from living room and main bedroom over Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, no mooring (Bairstow Eves).

The Small Print
This post includes all the canalside properties I have found for sale in the Midlands and Mid Wales, from the Monty and the Llangollen in the west, to Nottingham and Leicester in the east, to Nantwich in the north, and to Worcester and Stratford upon Avon in the south. They're mainly houses, but I include land, development opportunities and businesses when I spot them, and a few apartments with a canal view. I publish these posts at least once a week, often more.
Please note that I am not selling most of these properties! My comments are based on estate agents’ details, perusal of google maps, historic OS maps, and title maps, and just occasionally a brief chat with the owner. My comments must not be relied upon when making decisions to view or buy. You should always confirm all details with your solicitor and the relevant estate agent.
