Summary - 1 OAK VILLA BRIERLEY DRYBROOK GL17 9DJ
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious rural home with woodland views and strong rental potential.
Owned PV solar panels reduce electricity bills
This stone-built Victorian cottage sits on a large plot backing onto ancient woodland, offering privacy and rural outlooks from both front and rear. The main house spans three storeys with traditional bay windows, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and a versatile annexe that could serve as a holiday let or multi-generational wing, subject to any necessary planning. Owned PV solar panels and underfloor heating reduce running costs, while off-street parking for three to four vehicles is accessed via a Forestry Commission track.
The garden is a standout, with paved entertaining areas, decking with a hot tub (included), mature trees and a powered summer house overlooking the woodland. Interior features include exposed stone, wood-effect floors, a new wood burner and double glazing throughout. The annexe has its own living, kitchenette, bedroom and shower room—useful for guests, rental income or flexible family arrangements.
There are a few practical matters to note. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and the original granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation works or heating updates may be advisable. The property uses a septic tank and has an EPC rating to be confirmed; these facts may influence mortgage offers, insurance or future upgrade costs. Access to the parking area is across a Forestry Commission track and may feel rural rather than urban in convenience.
Overall this cottage will suit buyers seeking countryside living with strong outdoor space and flexible accommodation—families wanting room to grow or investors attracted to annexe rental potential. The home presents ready-to-enjoy character alongside sensible improvement opportunities for energy performance and modernisation.
