Summary - Highfield, Scowles GL16 8QT
Detached two-bedroom house with far-reaching rural views
Positioned on a very large plot with far-reaching rural views, this detached two-bedroom home is a rare, chain-free opportunity for a buyer prepared to renovate. The house sits off a private drive, offers a detached garage and ample off-road parking, and is within easy reach of Coleford’s shops, schools and woodland walks.
The property requires full refurbishment throughout: dated interiors, historic stone walls likely without insulation, older double glazing and an LPG boiler with bottled gas supply. Practical considerations include potential lender restrictions for ex-local authority / PRC repairs and the vendor’s requirement for cash buyers only — buyers should check mortgage suitability or capital availability before viewing.
Good features for a project include a large garden for extension or landscaping, scope to improve energy efficiency, and attractive countryside outlooks that will appeal to buyers seeking privacy and character. Services include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, which supports modern living once the property is upgraded.
Be aware this location records above-average crime and higher local deprivation indices; those factors, combined with renovation needs and specialist construction considerations, mean the house is best suited to experienced renovators, developers, or cash buyers planning a comprehensive refurbishment.
