Summary - 8 Forest Road GL15 5LB
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ideal family location near town and woodland walks.
Three bedrooms with separate lounge and dining rooms
This recently redecorated three-bedroom semi-detached house sits within easy walking distance of Lydney town centre, schools and local woodland walks — an appealing spot for families wanting convenience and green space. The layout includes separate lounge and dining rooms, an extended sunroom and a practical, gravelled rear garden for low-maintenance outdoor living. Off-street parking and a garage add everyday practicality.
The property is offered freehold and chain free, so it’s ready for a quick move. Notable improvements include double glazing to most rooms and a newly installed flood defence wall at the rear. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and the home benefits from a recent decoration that provides a neutral, ready-to-update interior.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the overall internal size is modest (about 780 sq ft) and the building dates from the 1930–49 era with cavity walls likely uninsulated. Some windows (kitchen and bathroom) are single-glazed aluminium and the exterior pebble-dash and fittings are dated — there is clear potential and need for further insulation and cosmetic updating. The property is in an area with higher local crime and medium flood risk (mitigated by the new defence wall), which should be considered alongside the listed benefits.
For families or purchasers seeking a practical starter home or a renovation project with good access to town amenities and schools, this property offers immediate occupation, parking and a manageable garden. It will suit buyers who prioritise location and affordability and are comfortable tackling modest upgrade work to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes.
