Summary - ROSE VILLA RUARDEAN HILL DRYBROOK GL17 9AP
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Quiet hamlet setting with modern interiors and generous garden views.
Three bedrooms; master with dressing room and en-suite
A sympathetically refurbished three-bedroom period cottage dating from c.1880, set down a quiet forestry track on Ruardean Hill. The ground floor offers a light lounge with wood-burning stove, a modern fitted kitchen, separate dining room with French doors, utility and cloakroom; upstairs the master bedroom includes an adjoining dressing room and en-suite. The house has been updated to provide comfortable, characterful living while retaining exposed stone and beams.
The property sits on a sloping plot with a generous rear garden and attractive stone boundary walls, enjoying rural and woodland views. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the interiors show recent upgrades including a modern bathroom and kitchen. The footprint is around 1,196 sq ft — a medium-sized family layout that suits countryside living rather than large-scale entertaining.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed no cavity insulation (typical for this build). The setting is secluded, reached by a forestry track, which gives privacy but may limit immediate access. Local schools and amenities are nearby; the area is generally affluent with low crime and fast broadband.
This will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in character cottage with scope for minor further improvement rather than those wanting a modern, low-maintenance estate home. Buyers should consider ongoing oil costs, potential wall insulation works, and planning constraints for any large extensions.
