A three-bedroom, three-storey Victorian detached house in the heart of the Forest of Dean, offered chain free and set on a large plot backing directly onto woodland. The property retains period features — exposed timbers, original fireplaces and stonework — and provides a flexible layout across roughly 1,011 sq ft, with two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility and a lower-ground bedroom. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place.
This is a substantial renovation opportunity. The house needs updating throughout and some external repairs (noted damage to rear exterior stonework and a former outbuilding with a concrete roof). The EPC is E and the property sits in a high flood-risk area — any buyer should factor in flood resilience measures and consult insurers. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting its rural location.
For buyers seeking a characterful project, the setting is the main draw: enclosed, multi-level gardens with mature trees, direct woodland views and a quiet village location with local amenities and schools nearby. The freehold tenure and no onward chain make a quicker purchase possible. Practical considerations: survey recommended to confirm structural and service condition, and budget for modernisation, flood mitigation and garden terracing or repair works.
