Summary - ROSE VILLA RUARDEAN HILL DRYBROOK GL17 9AP
Master bedroom with adjoining dressing room and en-suite
Lovely light lounge with wood-burning stove and character features
Fitted modern kitchen, separate dining room and utility room
Generous, sloping garden with rural/woodland views
Double glazed throughout; recently refurbished to a high standard
Oil-fired central heating (individual boiler) — higher running costs possible
Stone walls likely without modern insulation — further works may be needed
Secluded location down a forestry track — limited immediate transport links
Set down a quiet forestry track in the hamlet of Ruardean Hill, this sympathetically refurbished three-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends original character with modern comforts. Exposed stonework, a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and period proportions remain, while the interior benefits from recent upgrades including a fitted modern kitchen, refurbished bathroom and double glazing.
The principal bedroom includes an adjoining dressing room and en-suite, and the house offers practical family layout with a separate dining room, useful utility and a ground-floor WC. Living space totals around 1,196 sq ft, appropriate for a medium-sized cottage, and rooms feel light and airy throughout. Outside, a generous, sloping garden and pleasant rural/woodland views provide privacy and scope for landscaping or extension subject to planning.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: heating is oil-fired (individual boiler and radiators) and the property’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so running costs and fabric improvements are possible further investments. Access is along a quiet forestry track which gives the setting its secluded character but may not suit every buyer.
Overall this is a comfortable, well-presented period cottage for a buyer seeking countryside character with modernised fittings and a sizeable garden, best suited to families or those wanting a rural home rather than a large estate.
