This expansive three-storey Victorian lodge, along with a detached two-bedroom coach house, is situated within roughly 1.5 acres of tranquil grounds. The properties feature robust stone construction and are enveloped by mature woodland, providing both serene views and a sense of seclusion. With significant potential for customization, these residences offer an excellent opportunity for investors or homeowners looking to create their ideal living spaces. The expansive grounds are particularly appealing, offering ample garage space and a gated driveway with turning circle—ideal for enthusiasts with multiple vehicles.
Located on the picturesque edge of the Royal Forest of Dean in Ruspidge, this property is surrounded by 24,000 acres of stunning countryside renowned for outdoor activities such as cycling and hiking. The area attracts visitors year-round, making the coach house a prime candidate for holiday rentals or additional income through development possibilities.
The main lodge showcases elegant period details—high ceilings, intricate picture rails, and charming fireplaces are featured throughout. While the ground floor requires some refurbishment to realize its full potential, it provides a solid foundation for future enhancements with large dual-aspect reception rooms drenched in natural light and a traditional kitchen equipped with shaker-style units and an Elan range cooker. Additionally, access to a cellar presents further opportunities to enhance value.
Upstairs has benefited from modern updates including a bathroom with spa bath, alongside several versatile rooms that can adapt to various needs such as additional bedrooms or office space.
The top floor adds three more bedrooms while also offering unique character with pitched ceilings. A separate games room/study adds flexibility to the main accommodation.
The self-contained coach house features a well-lit sitting area with French doors leading outside and includes two lovely bedrooms that provide picturesque woodland views. With the added benefit of built-in storage and a practical layout, this space can function effectively as guest accommodation or rental.
Notably, there is additional development potential in the grounds; previously approved plans exist for new homes beyond the garden area, highlighting significant investment opportunities.
