Description

This three-bedroom, three-storey cottage in the Forest of Dean presents a unique renovation opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke living space. With an array of original features intact, this property serves as a blank canvas for modernisation, allowing the new owner to inject personal style and contemporary comforts. The absence of an onward chain expedites the moving process, making it a timely investment for renovation enthusiasts. Nestled in the charming village of Drybrook, the cottage benefits from enclosed gardens that back onto tranquil woodland. The property is equipped with double glazing and gas central heating but would benefit from updates throughout. Key rooms include two welcoming reception areas adorned with character elements such as open fireplaces and exposed timber details, leading to a functional kitchen and utility area. Upstairs, you'll find well-proportioned bedrooms each with individual charm and potential enhancements. The lower ground floor includes additional bedroom space, offering versatility in design. Outside, the garden is multi-layered with existing mature shrubs and trees as well as potential for landscaping improvements. A former outbuilding offers practical storage solutions or could be repurposed creatively. This property not only promises transformation but also holds intrinsic value due to its desirable location and structural characteristics.
