The Property
Occupying a picture postcard setting on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, lies this individual Grade II Listed home.

As illustrated by the floorplan the use of accommodation can be flexible, depending on the number of bedrooms you require. On the first floor the kitchen/dining room boasts a sash window overlooking the garden and canal beyond, the rooms enjoys fantastic ceiling height, room for dining and a fitted kitchen, there is also room to extend the fitted furniture if desired. A pretty fireplace further enhances this space. The adjoining sitting room has a feature fireplace (not in use), a sash window to the front elevation which is canal side and an exposed red brick wall. Also located on this level is a useful utility cupboard and further reception room, currently used as a home office. Stairs down provide access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
