We have a good budget and would stretch it to get the right place. It has to be in the midlands ideally the T&M from Willington to Stone plus maybe the Caldon or Ashby. So if you know of someone selling or seen one, let me know. There may be a reward, a finders fee??
Another option is to buy the home on the canal. I have blogged about getting a bigger live-a-board boat recently. It seems an option that could put us on all three of these canals where and whenever we want. However this is not a long term retirement option - sit watching the boats cruise on while feeding my chickens or fishing ..... dreamer or what !
The irony is I helped Andrew off Granny Buttons find a nice place in Willington. OK not on the canal but very local to it and other interesting features.
Anyhow it passes the evening ..........dreaming !

Gents,
Thanks for the comments.
Middlewich is a little far- was it or is it Wardle lock cottage...?
Dave, the Solihull property looks to have a fantastic garden. looking on google maps (satellite) the tree cover and the fact its a non tow path side of the canal would make it a great feature, alas it is a little too far away and too urban,
Keep looking !
How about this.
