Have you ever wanted to own your own home on an island? This opportunity might be right up your street. A charming lock keeper’s cottage on an island on the River Trent, on the market with estate agents Gascoines, offers exactly this, accessible by its own private footbridge across the river. Situated between East Stoke weir and Hazelford Lock, near to the villages of Bleasby and Fiskerton, the The Old Lock House is a three-bedroom detached property which offers unique seclusion.
