A substantial period country cottage set in about 0.37 acre, offering flexible living for families or multi‑generational households. The main house retains character features — inglenook and original bread oven, parquet flooring and a generous conservatory — while a detached single‑storey annexe provides private, one‑level accommodation with ensuite and its own combi boiler.
The property benefits from strong eco credentials: owned solar panels with battery storage serving both buildings, two EV charging points and a heat‑recovery system in the annexe. Ample gravel parking, productive vegetable beds, greenhouse, sheds, chicken coop and a private patio create practical outdoor space for growing and entertaining. There is scope to rent the annexe for extra income or keep it for relatives.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the house dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, with double glazing installed before 2002 — further insulation or upgrading may be needed for long‑term efficiency. The property uses a recently installed private water treatment plant for sewerage which will require ongoing maintenance. Council tax is Band G (Forest of Dean) and is relatively expensive.
Overall this is a rare rural opportunity that balances traditional charm with modern, energy‑efficient systems. It will particularly suit those seeking versatile accommodation, outdoor space and lower running emissions, while buyers should budget for long‑term fabric improvements and routine servicing of private infrastructure.
