Summary - CHESTNUT COTTAGE PLUDDS COURT ROAD THE PLUDDS RUARDEAN GL17 9TY
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Character-filled rural home with expansive gardens and flexible living.
Large plot approaching half an acre and private orchard
Set in one of the Forest of Dean’s most desirable hamlets, this detached cottage offers characterful living on an exceptionally large plot approaching half an acre. The house feels cosy and well laid out, with a light-filled kitchen, separate dining and living rooms and a useful sunroom that opens to the garden. The established grounds, orchard and stone outbuilding create strong outdoor appeal for families and gardeners.
Inside are two double bedrooms arranged with flexible living space off the principal suite, and each bedroom benefits from its own en-suite — a practical feature for household routines or guests. The kitchen stretches the full depth of the house and opens via French doors to the garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow in warmer months. Solar panels are present, and the property is freehold with council tax band C.
Important practical points: the cottage is small internally (around 560 sq ft), was constructed before 1900 and has an EPC rating of D. Heating is by an LPG boiler with radiators (not a mains gas supply). These factors, together with older construction, mean ongoing maintenance and periodic upgrades should be expected. Glazing details are not defined.
For buyers seeking rural tranquillity with excellent outdoor space, this home represents a rare plot-to-house ratio. It will particularly suit those wanting a character cottage to enjoy immediately while making incremental improvements over time.
