Summary - Bilson House, Valley Road GL14 2NY
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large plot period cottage with major renovation potential for experienced buyers.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms with period fireplaces and built-ins
Very large plot with attached outbuilding and several sheds
Substantial renovation needed: heating, electrics, plumbing, plastering, glazing
Solid brick construction likely uninsulated; insulation recommended
Downstairs bathroom and separate cloakroom; single bathroom only upstairs
Freehold tenure; mains gas boiler and radiators (condition unknown)
Cash buyers recommended due to extent of works and refurbishment costs
Local area: very deprived; broadband and mobile signal average
This three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits on a very large plot in Cinderford and offers significant scope for renovation or a sympathetic restoration. The house has two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, downstairs bathroom and cloakroom, and original features such as period fireplaces and built-in shelving. Its generous footprint (approx. 2,702 sq ft) and outbuildings make it suitable for extension or landscaping projects.
The property requires comprehensive modernisation: heating, electrical, plumbing, plastering and double glazing are all noted as needing attention. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the boiler and radiators will need inspection or replacement. Because of the scale of works required, the sale is marketed to cash buyers and will suit someone prepared to manage a full refurbishment.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and no flooding risk. Local services are accessible, but the wider area faces high deprivation and local school ratings vary; broadband and mobile signals are average. Council tax is described as cheap, which will help running costs during renovation.
This property will appeal to investors or experienced renovators seeking a large plot and period character in a semi-rural town. The upside is substantial potential value uplift after modernisation; the downside is the time, cost and expertise required to bring the house to modern living standards.
