Situation
The property is located in Mart Lane overlooking Stourport’s iconic Canal basin, a short distance from the junction with the A451 York Street.

The canal opened in Stourport on Severn in 1771 and by 1812 the Town had five canal basins, acting as an interchange for goods travelling by boat on the River Severn, into barges serving the inland canal network. The basin is surrounded by historic buildings and is occupied by a number of both touring and residential boats. The rear windows of this property overlook the basin, providing a stunning outlook to the countryside beyond.

Stourport on Severn benefits from shopping, leisure and education amenities. There are greater facilities in Kidderminster and also the Cathedral Cities of Worcester and Birmingham. Access to the national Motorway network is via the M42 and M5.
