A deceptively spacious three-bedroom stone cottage dating from the 1830s, set in the popular Forest of Dean village of Drybrook. The home combines period character — including an original fireplace with multi-fuel burner — with practical updates such as a fully fitted modern kitchen, double glazing and a mains-gas boiler serving radiators.
Ground floor layout provides two reception rooms and a sizable kitchen, plus a four-piece bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one of which opens directly onto the enclosed west-facing garden. Outside there is an opposite gravelled driveway with space for several cars and a private garden with decked seating, lawn and shed.
Notable positives include good broadband and mobile signal, convenient village facilities, and a freehold tenure with a relatively low council tax band. The property will particularly suit families or buyers seeking a village cottage with parking and outdoor space.
Buyers should note the building’s age and traditional stone walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated D. The plot is small and garden maintenance and some sympathetic updating may be required. There is one bathroom and no integral garage — parking is on a large shared driveway opposite the house.
