Summary - ROCK HOUSE, DRIFFIELD ROAD, LYDNEY GL15 4EU
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot and development potential in a peaceful town-edge setting.
2.3 acres of garden, orchard and paddock with outbuildings
Set on about 2.3 acres of garden, orchard and paddock, Rock House is a traditional stone cottage offering generous grounds and broad southern views across the Severn Vale towards the Cotswolds. The detached Victorian house retains period character and two reception rooms plus a conservatory, while its elevated, edge-of-town position gives a peaceful rural feel with Lydney amenities and transport links close by.
The cottage requires full modernisation: heating is by electric storage heaters, wall insulation is assumed absent, and the property needs updating throughout. For purchasers willing to renovate, the house presents clear potential to increase value and comfort, with the large plot ideal for gardens, smallholding or equestrian use.
A significant selling point is the paddock’s planning potential — outline plans are available — making this suitable for buyers seeking an investment or development opportunity (subject to consent). The property is offered with no onward chain, easing the purchase timetable for a buyer prepared to undertake the work.
Nearby schools are a short drive away and the setting balances rural living with good road and rail links to the M4/M5 corridors and wider employment centres. While the house’s condition limits immediate move-in convenience, the combination of land, location and planning opportunity will appeal to families and investors who value long-term potential.
