Summary - Brook Cottage, Lower Meend, St. Briavels GL15 6RW
About one acre of landscaped gardens and private woodland
Brook Cottage is a detached three-bedroom cottage set in about an acre of landscaped gardens and private woodland in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property combines rural privacy with accessible village amenities in St. Briavels and offers far-reaching countryside views from a raised terrace.
The house retains character features including exposed stone, beams and a wood-burning stove, with a practical layout comprising sitting room, kitchen with Aga, conservatory/dining room, and three bedrooms upstairs. Multiple outbuildings — stone barn, greenhouses, potting shed, woodstore and summerhouse — add usable space and strong potential for conversion or specialist workshop/storage use (subject to consents).
Brook Cottage is offered chain free but requires modernisation throughout; the property currently has oil-fired central heating, a septic tank, double glazing of unknown age and an EPC rating of E. Broadband speeds are very slow and mains drainage is not available. Extension or redevelopment may be possible subject to planning permission (STPP).
This will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural home on a substantial plot — gardeners, smallholders, hobby equestrians, or buyers wanting to create a bespoke countryside residence. The plot size, outbuildings and AONB setting are key strengths; budget for renovation, possible drainage/upgrading works and long-term heating/fuel considerations should be factored in.
