Bright, spacious reception rooms with high ceilings
Single bathroom — requires modernisation and potential reconfiguration

Decent plot size; peaceful village location on Forest of Dean edge
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; low local crime
Set in the peaceful historic village of Clearwell on the edge of the Forest of Dean, this substantial detached house occupies a large walled garden with an orchard and stone outbuildings. The property offers generous proportions across 2,597 sq ft, with bright reception rooms, five bedrooms and many original character features including high ceilings, deep skirtings and glazed internal doors.
The house has been a much-loved family home for around fifty years but now requires renovation to reach its full potential. Practical considerations include a single bathroom, oil-fired boiler and radiator heating, unknown double-glazing install date, and a recorded construction period of 1976–1982 despite its period appearance. Council tax is above average.
This is a strong opportunity for a family seeking a large, characterful home in a friendly village, or for a buyer wanting a high-potential refurbishment project with orchard and useful stone outbuildings. The property is offered chain free, has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and sits in a low-crime area close to good local schools and village amenities.
Buyers should budget for refurbishment works and modernisation: cosmetic updating, possible heating and insulation improvements, and likely bathroom and kitchen upgrades. With sympathetic investment, the home’s scale, setting and original detail could create a distinctive, comfortable family residence.
