Outside you have a front to back wrap around garden to enjoy.
The property is nestled on an island in the middle of the River Severn, directly overlooking the only pair of river locks in the country, with fantastic up river views of Worcester Cathedral, local wildlife, passing boaters and, in the summer, water activities including kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. Since the cottage is on an island, views of the River Weir and Diglis fish pass are to the rear.
