Property description

LOCATION The property is situated in the small town of Sharpness which is close to the River Severn, but very conveniently positioned for access to the A38 and the M5 motorway leading to Bristol to the south and Gloucester/Cheltenham to the north.



Sharpness itself has basic amenities for everyday use, including convenience store, primary school, parish church and public house.



This property is located within a residential street immediately fronting a larger allotment garden area, giving it a very open aspect.
