St. Briavels, Lydney

Originally constructed in the 1700s as a traditional farmhouse, this exceptional property carries a rich and varied history-having served as a country club from 1965 before being thoughtfully converted into a residential dwelling in 2003. Today, it stands as a beautifully maintained and highly versatile five-bedroom detached home, offering over an acre of landscaped gardens, ample living space, and a range of functional outbuildings-perfect for families, creatives, and those seeking a work-from-home lifestyle in a peaceful countryside setting.

Set on a plot of approximately 1.04 acres, the home boasts a driveway providing generous parking and turning space for multiple vehicles. The large, wraparound gardens are well-kept and private, mainly laid to lawn with patio area to the rear, ideal for outdoor entertaining, children's play, or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Internally, the accommodation is spacious and well-configured, comprising five bedrooms, two of which benefit from modern en-suite facilities. There is also an additional bathroom and a convenient ground-floor cloakroom. A separate bedroom and bathroom located up a private staircase from the kitchen offers flexible living-ideal for multi-generational living arrangements or guest accommodation.

Beyond the main residence, the property features an impressive array of outbuildings that greatly enhance its appeal. These include a dedicated Pilates studio, a music studio, a workshop, a small stable, detached garage, and several storage rooms-offering limitless potential for hobbies, business use, or future conversion (subject to necessary consents).

Situated in a highly desirable rural location near the sought-after village of St. Briavels, this home perfectly balances seclusion with accessibility, providing an idyllic lifestyle opportunity for those looking to embrace country living without compromising on space or amenities.
