Description
The Waterside at Royal Worcester
A remarkable transformation has been taking place over the last few years at the former Royal Worcester porcelain factory. Berkeley has skilfully regenerated this historic location as an exclusive place to live, combining canal and riverside attractions with proximity to the exquisite cathedral city. The result is The Waterside, Royal Worcester, a development of new and refurbished homes that has been highly sought after.
The new phase, The Peninsula takes the prime position at this sought after development, located at the point where the River Severn joins the basin of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, giving water views to many of the apartments.
You have the choice of 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments and
penthouses, many with balconies or a terrace from which you can observe the passing scene on the river and canal.
The apartments are set in landscaped grounds and some have the additional benefit of allocated underground parking.
The buildings traditional style echoes the heritage architecture of this location.
