"The BackWater" Victorian cottage bordered by fields, trees and the canal. Positioned on a 'parkland' like, private cul de sac, so no through traffic, with good parking and security. Lovely and quiet to live here and sit in the garden, dont be surprised to find ducks waddling into your garden when sitting outside. Just a 5-10 minute short stroll to the centre of this historical market town makes this spot special.
We offer this self contained, refurbished and modernised two floor apartment furnished and equipped to a high standard, with grassed garden.

The studio lounge can look out over the canal and views to fields trees and the garden. On the ground floor is the fully equipped kitchen diner, the utility room is on this floor too with hanging and drying facility and washing machine with dryer.
There is also a shower wash room and a separate toilet.
All rooms have new smart TVs. and sturdy folding desks/tables for work, play or eating if required in your room.
*
For easy travel connectivity this is hard to better.
ROAD: Just 10 minutes off the A1, junctions both south and north of the town. Easy access to the midlands airports and Sheffield-Manchester-Lincoln -York and the coast.
RAIL: Not many smaller towns have direct north/south and east/west rail lines. London not much more than an hour and Edinburgh on the same line north. York, Manchester and Lincoln a joy to travel to from our Railway station which has parking and is just 2 or 3 minutes by car or a 10/15 minute walk from the apartment.
COACH/BUS: A state of the art modern terminal is in the centre of town just 5/10 minutes walk from the apartment. the bus services locally are extensive and on many of the stops all is computer connected and phone connectable.
If you wish I could arrange to collect you from any of the above terminals if this is something you would need.

Good self contained place

The property is a nice and tidy place with all the necessary things taken cared of. It is well managed. Redford is a small but beautiful and peaceful town and easily accessible to the near by places. The canal side walk is beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony

Host profile image
I am semi retired and enjoy putting the underutilised area of my house to some good use. I have pride in how the apartment is presented and how welcoming the apartment will be for the tenants. I have looked after holiday homes and property for many years.

Why they chose this property

It is as new. the property was restored last year so everything is 'new'. Including latest safety features, electricity supply and gas and heating.

What makes this property unique

It is an amazing experience of living in this little peaceful haven, just with the sounds of the canal and the wild life....lots of bird song.....but be just 5-10 minute walk from the bustling centre of a historic market town.
