Description

This unique detached country home, with a rich history dating back to the 15th century as a former royal hunting lodge, offers over 2,300 square feet of potential for new owners keen on infusing modern updates into its historic charm. The Grade II Listed property is adorned with elegant period features including timbered walls, exposed beams, and striking sash windows that highlight its character.

Located in Longhope within the picturesque Royal Forest of Dean, this property benefits from access to expansive woodlands and vibrant village amenities including shops, bakeries, and reputable schools. The layout includes two sitting rooms with inglenook fireplaces and a versatile kitchen leading into a sunroom that could adapt to varying lifestyles. The five bedrooms offer ample accommodation for families or guests, with light flooding through south-facing windows. The exterior boasts privacy behind double gates and includes parking for two vehicles along with additional garden space featuring a sun terrace and small paddock; all perfect for personalisation through landscaping or gardening projects. With the right renovation efforts, this property can transform into an ideal family home or investment opportunity in a stunning rural setting.
