Set within approximately 1.3 acres of lush gardens and serene woodland, this historical property offers a tranquil retreat in the desirable hamlet of The Scowles. Located adjacent to the scenic Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, it presents an opportunity for investment, being just a short walk from Coleford town centre and a quick drive to Monmouth. The home dates back to the 17th century and has seen thoughtful extensions that enhance its spaciousness while retaining its character. While it features energy-efficient solar panels and solid insulation, there are aspects that could benefit from modern updates, making it ideal for those looking to increase value through renovations.
The layout includes an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, designed for family gatherings, alongside a charming sitting room and five comfortable bedrooms. The principal suite boasts a private balcony with breathtaking views—a fantastic feature that could be capitalised upon with further enhancements. Outside, potential abounds with a detached double garage ripe for conversion into an annex or additional living space (pending local consents), along with two sizeable outbuildings which offer multiple uses as workshops or storage solutions.
Coleford is dotted with amenities such as shops, schools, and recreational facilities including golf courses—adding appeal for families or tenants if considering rental opportunities. This property not only provides a peaceful abode but also serves as a canvas for those seeking to invest in a home that can evolve over time.
