Two double bedrooms and conservatory with private suntrap garden
This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Station Street pairs period charm with modern updates. Inside, a recently fitted kitchen/diner, new bathroom and a bright lounge make it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or small family. The conservatory opens onto a private, sunny rear garden that feels larger than the plot suggests.
There is clear scope to add value: potential loft conversion (subject to consents) and possible off-street parking at the front. Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a compact layout that’s easy to maintain. Council tax is very cheap, and the property benefits from fast broadband.
Be upfront about the negatives: the house sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators, the plot is small, and the building’s original stone walls likely lack modern insulation. Parking is not guaranteed and would require work to formalise. These points make the property better suited to buyers prioritising affordability and renovation potential over tranquil, spacious grounds.
Overall, this is a low-maintenance, characterful starter home with sensible running costs and clear improvement opportunities for someone wanting to add value while living in. Proximity to the Forest of Dean and local amenities gives it practical appeal.
