Summary - ROSEWOOD VILLA BRADFORDS LANE NEWENT GL18 1QR
8 bed 6 bath Detached
Spacious Victorian family home with annexes and nearly an acre of gardens.
Substantial Victorian detached home over 3,500 sq.ft with eight bedrooms
Set just under an acre beside Newent Arboretum, Rosewood Villa is a substantial Victorian home offering genuine multi-generational living. Over 3,500 sq.ft provides eight bedrooms, seven reception rooms and two purpose-built annexes — useful for older children, live‑in carers or rental income. The large, landscaped grounds include a composite gazebo, garden room, greenhouse, chicken coop and a redundant pool ready for renovation or removal.
The house combines period features — exposed beams, cast‑iron fireplaces and bay windows — with modern practicalities: recent boilers for the main house (2024) and one annexe (2022), owned solar panels, double glazing installed post‑2002 and a water softener. Outbuildings include a double garage/workshop and additional storage, with secure gated parking on a long tarmac and gravel driveway.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the property was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed uninsulated, and parts will benefit from updating to improve energy efficiency. There is a septic tank for drainage, broadband speeds are limited (basic 15Mbps), and the tiled pool is redundant and will need work. Council tax is band F and local recorded crime is above average — factors to weigh for budget and lifestyle planning.
This home suits large families, those seeking multi‑generation solutions or buyers wanting substantial garden and outbuilding space in a small market town. Its setting beside the Arboretum and excellent mobile signal add lifestyle value, while the flexible annex accommodation and scope for upgrading give potential for value growth.
