Nestled on an expansive acre of land in the tranquil area of Popes Hill, Keepers Cottage offers a remarkable opportunity for development and refurbishment. This property features a large derelict house alongside an attached barn, as well as a derelict stone cottage with an adjoining shed/workshop. Additionally, there is an original two-storey stone barn on site. Previously granted planning permission (now lapsed) allows for the transformation of the main house into a six-bedroom family residence, integrating the adjacent cottage as part of the project. Documentation can be found via the Forest of Dean District Council’s planning portal under references P0476/21/FUL and P0441/20/FUL. A separate fully serviced bungalow currently provides valuable temporary accommodation while renovations are undertaken. Ample parking spaces are available on-site to accommodate future developments.
Both cottages will require substantial investment to unlock their full potential. The main residence has received lapsed planning permission for conversion into a spacious six-bedroom home, while the detached stone cottage holds permission for conversion into a one-bedroom annex.
The site also includes charming elements such as exposed beams throughout and generous views over the Severn Valley towards the Cotswold Hills, enhancing its appeal as a renovation project in this sought-after location.
