Summary - Forest View, Ridge Walk, Ruardean Hill GL17 9AP
Four bedrooms, recently remodelled and turnkey ready
Set high on Ruardean Hill, Forest View is an immaculately presented four-bedroom detached home with far-reaching countryside views. Recently remodelled to a high specification, the house is largely turnkey: a modern shaker kitchen with oak worktops, a superb upstairs sitting room with wall-to-wall glazing and deck access, and beautifully landscaped tiered gardens provide immediate appeal for family life and entertaining.
The layout is unconventional and full of character — exposed beams in the oldest wing, a galleried landing, two staircases and some pleasantly quirky, low doorways. A ground-floor bedroom with an adjoining Jack-and-Jill shower room makes daily living flexible for multi-generational families or guests, while a useful utility/drying room and a separate workshop/storage space replace a conventional garage.
Outside, carefully designed terraces, a summer house, greenhouse and mature planting create private outdoor rooms and excellent alfresco dining opportunities. The elevated plot captures long views towards Drybrook and The Malverns, and off-street parking is provided to the rear.
Practical considerations: the property’s heating runs on an oil-fired boiler which can mean higher running costs compared with mains gas, and the stone walls are assumed to have been constructed without insulation. The house’s quirky layout and some low internal doorways may not suit everyone and there is no integral garage. Overall, this is a character-rich, recently renovated home that will particularly suit buyers seeking a comfortable, well-presented family house in a scenic Forest of Dean location.
