The shell of the building remains largely intact and a survey commissioned by the owner suggests that the roof and first floor could perhaps be restored. Alternatively the building could be replaced, subject to planning permission.
The lock and the bridge are listed, but the cottage itself is not listed. The property has been fully residential since c. 1984 but has previously incorporated a small craft shop. Potential purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the viability of business use.
The freehold plot extends to 0.04 acres including a small garden to the right of the property. There is a large additional area of garden to the rear and on both sides for which there is a rental agreement with New College, Oxford. This brings the total plot to approximately 0.2 acres.
The back garden is south facing and enjoys plenty of sunshine most of the day. It is mostly lawned with a selection of fruit trees and bushes, and there is reputedly a well in the back garden.Immediately to the right of the property there is a run off channel (known as a sluice or by-weir) which is fitted with slots for a stop gate. This manages the level of water in the upper pound and carries any excess water to the lower pound via a pipe under the rear garden. The lock, by-weir and pipeline are managed by the Canal & River Trust. The owner has no responsibility for the maintenance of the lock, the by-weir, or the pipeline.
Grants Lock Cottage is a well known lock keeper's cottage set alongside the Oxford Canal, overlooking the beautiful countryside of the River Cherwell Valley near Twyford Wharf and Banbury.
