Situated on the banks of the Eglinton Canal, at the meeting of the waters with Nun’s Island, No 16 enjoys magnificent views over this historical waterway.
Easily one of the most attractive properties to come to the market in recent times, No 16 Canal Road Upper was the first house to be built on the upper canal and has been in the same family for three generations.
Accommodation in this beautiful property includes an entrance porch with stained glass door and quality timber flooring throughout the entrance hall, living room and sitting room.
Both living areas have original Connemara marble fireplaces adding to the character of this peaceful house.
Natural light floods this lovely home as there are plenty of windows on each aspect, offering stunning views of the canal and its surroundings.

In the entrance hall, a carpeted stairs leads to the first floor. Again, plenty of natural light flooding all rooms makes this a bright and airy space. There are four bedrooms on this level with the main bathroom.
The extra-large rear garden is an oasis of tranquillity making it hard to believe you are in the centre of a busy city.
Mature hedging and trees bound the property giving it plenty of privacy. A shed offers storage for garden tools and a boiler house for the oil-fired central heating system.
A footpath leads you to the back of the garden with a glass greenhouse and raised flower and vegetable beds.
