This freehold, chain-free home sits within walking distance of Lydney town and offers clear scope for a first-time buyer or investor to add value. The property has two substantial double bedrooms, a large lounge/diner and a bright conservatory that opens onto a recently landscaped rear garden. There is potential to create off-street parking to the front for two cars.
The interior is dated and will need modernisation — the kitchen, bathroom fittings and some roof wear are evident and the property mixes original 1950s–1960s features with 1970s-era fixtures. The house has gas central heating, double glazing and a C-rated EPC, but buyers should note the medium flood risk and higher local crime and area deprivation metrics when considering insurance and resourcing improvements.
As an ex-local authority property, a buyer should check for any PRC or remedial certificates and confirm mortgage criteria with lenders. The home is sold chain-free, offered with some furniture included and comes with a virtual tour to assess condition before viewing. For someone prepared to refurbish, this is a straightforward town-fringe project with good rental and resale potential given location and size.
