A canal marina with 85 boat berths, three-bedroomed bungalow and outbuildings is coming up for auction at Bond Wolfe

Fenny Marina at Fenny Compton, near Southam in Warwickshire and will have a guide price of £950,000+ in the live-streamed auction on Thursday 8 February.

James Mattin, managing director and auctioneer at Bond Wolfe, explained that the marina already had various income streams, with the prospect of more if the business is developed.

He said: “The entire property extends to around 6.12 acres, with the marina basin itself taking up approximately 4.46 acres."

Fenny Marina is on the southern arm of the Oxford Canal, just east of Fenny Compton village in the Warwickshire countryside. The Oxford Canal passes through unspoilt countryside and is a popular cruising waterway connecting the River Thames at Oxford with the Grand Union Canal at Napton. The northern section of the Oxford Canal continues to Coventry and from there to Birmingham via the Coventry Canal. Fenny Compton is close to the borders of Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, approximately seven miles south of Southam and nine miles north of Banbury.
