Summary - QUICKEN TREE COTTAGE, THE FENCE, LYDNEY, ST. BRIAVELS GL15 6QG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful four-bedroom cottage with large gardens and stunning valley views.
Spectacular views over Bigsweir Bridge and the River Wye
Quicken Tree Cottage is a stone-built, characterful four-bedroom home set on a very large plot with spectacular views over Bigsweir Bridge and the River Wye. The heart of the house is a traditional country kitchen with a solid oak finish, Belfast sink and an iconic electric Aga, adjoining a practical utility/boot room and cloakroom. An expansive living/dining room with a wood-burning stove and bay window seat captures the views and fills the house with natural light.
Upstairs offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, a flexible open landing/home office and two bathrooms — the layout works well for a family or for anyone needing a home office. The gardens are a standout: terraces, formal beds, a pond, productive vegetable plots, greenhouse and a wildflower meadow that leads up to private woodland and public footpaths for direct countryside access.
Practical points to consider: the house dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, with double glazing fitted before 2002. Main heating is by electric room heaters (there is a wood-burning stove), and the property falls into a medium flood-risk category; buyers should obtain specific flood and insurance advice. The home is offered freehold and chain free, with generous off-road parking and a garage.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with strong outdoor appeal and period charm, and those who value views and scope to improve energy performance over time. Its combination of established gardens, woodland access and sizable accommodation represents a rare countryside opportunity close to St Briavels village amenities.
