Description

This charming cottage, nestled in the serene Forest of Dean, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Tucked away in a peaceful setting with open woodland nearby, the property offers substantial potential to create a modern living space while retaining its rustic charm. As you enter through the porch, which features three-quarter glazed construction allowing natural light to fill the entryway, you are welcomed into a layout that includes a kitchen equipped with base units and an oil boiler for central heating and domestic hot water. The adjoining dining room is spacious enough for family gatherings and features a cozy fireplace that could become a focal point with some updates. The lounge is another generous area characterized by its stone fireplace and ample window space, providing both warmth and nature views. The upper floor consists of three well-sized bedrooms complemented by a versatile dressing room that could serve as a fourth bedroom or study. Each room benefits from varied window placements ensuring good light throughout the day. The exterior space boasts south-facing gardens primarily to the front, featuring grassed areas and herbaceous borders that can be cultivated further. An established path leads to a detached garage along with an outhouse and a former pig cot—ideal for additional storage or creative projects. There’s also potential space at the side of the property leading to a block-built log store at the back. Connected to mains water and electricity with private drainage, this property is set up for essential services although they have not been fully tested. Its location within the Forest of Dean offers not only tranquility but also easy access to outdoor activities and local amenities. This cottage represents not just a home but an investment opportunity for those looking to add value through renovation in a sought-after area.
