A substantial Grade II listed country house set in about 2.7 acres of cottage-style gardens and mature woodland. The house retains strong period character — exposed stone, panelling, parquet flooring and large inglenook fireplaces — and offers generous room proportions across three floors, including a large attic arranged as three rooms. The setting is private, reached by a sweeping driveway, with wide rural views and proximity to North Nibley village and local amenities.
The accommodation includes a dual-aspect sitting room, formal dining room, kitchen/diner with Rayburn and separate utility and shower room, plus four main bedrooms and three further attic/hobby rooms. Substantial outbuildings — a large barn, workshop and further stores — provide scope for annexe use, studios or conversion subject to planning approval. The garden is extensive with lawns, wildflower borders, productive vegetable area and established roses.
This house needs modernisation throughout and, because of its Grade II listing, alterations will be constrained and likely require specialist consents and costs. Heating is by log-burning stoves and electric storage heaters; services include mains water and electricity with private drainage. The property will suit buyers seeking a character home with significant scope and space rather than a move-in-ready option — ideal for a family wanting rural lifestyle, hobby farming or a renovation project with long-term potential.
