Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned building plot with panning permission for an architecturally striking, split-level contemporary home, set within an elevated and highly desirable location at Joyford Hill. The approved scheme has been intelligently designed to follow the natural contours of the plot, resulting in a home that offers both visual impact and practical, modern living.

The design is arranged over two levels, creating a natural separation between living and functional spaces: 

The lower level is centred around practicality and flexibility, featuring a generous integrated garage with space for multiple vehicles, complete with provision for EV charging. In addition, there is a large separate store room, ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or further storage, alongside a utility area and internal access into the main home. This level makes the design particularly appealing for buyers needing storage, workspace, or lifestyle flexibility.

The upper level forms the heart of the home, designed with modern living in mind. A central hallway leads through to a light-filled open-plan kitchen and dining space, complemented by a separate living room, creating versatile spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The layout also includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, en-suite to the principal along with a family bathroom and additional storage, making it ideal for families, downsizers wanting single-level living, or those seeking a stylish, low-maintenance home. A raised balcony area extends from the main living space, providing an elevated outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying the outlook and surrounding setting.

The approved dwelling combines contemporary design with materials that sit comfortably within the area, including:

  • Brick and vertical cladding elevations
  • Slate-style roof finish
  • Clean architectural lines with strong kerb appeal
  • Carefully positioned glazing to maximise light while maintaining privacy

Joyford Hill is a sought-after location within the Forest of Dean, known for its elevated positioning, semi-rural feel, and access to beautiful surrounding woodland. The plot offers a balance of privacy, outlook, and convenience, with nearby amenities and transport links easily accessible.
