Nestled in the peaceful village of Linslade, this characterful cottage sits right on the edge of the Grand Union Canal, in the extensive grounds of the historic Wyvern Shipping Co. boatyard. It's the perfect spot to relax and watch the gentle comings and goings of traditional narrowboats and the workings of the Wyvern Shipping Co. boatyard.
Great walks along the canalside to local pubs. Loads of wildlife. Cycle and walk along the canal tow path to the nearby town of Leighton Buzzard, or local pubs in the village or on the canal. Easy walk to Linslade Village.
