Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a charming bungalow set within generous grounds, enjoying an elevated position with far-reaching views across surrounding countryside and woodland. This delightful home offers a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity, approached via a sweeping driveway and nestled within beautifully established gardens.
The property is set on a plot of approximately 1.1 acres & is surrounded by mature trees, lawned gardens & well-stocked borders, creating a picturesque setting. The gardens gently slope away, offering multiple seating areas and a truly peaceful environment, ideal for those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle whilst remaining within reach of local amenities. Internally, the accommodation is well-proportioned and full of character. A welcoming entrance hallway with a pantry & a cloakroom leads through to a bright and comfortable lounge, enhanced by large windows that frame attractive views over the gardens. A separate dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining, while the kitchen offers a range of fitted units with access to the rear. The bungalow offers two well-sized bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks, along with a bathroom. While the property has been well maintained, it would benefit from some modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers to put their own stamp on the home. Externally, the property continues to impress with extensive grounds including woodlands to the front, a useful outbuilding/garage, ample parking & direct access to surrounding woodland walks.
Lydbrook is a picturesque village in the heart of the Forest of Dean, known for its stunning woodland surroundings and elevated views over the Wye Valley. The village offers a strong sense of community, amenities including a shop, primary school and traditional pubs, while being ideally positioned for scenic walks, cycling and outdoor pursuits. Lydbrook provides a perfect balance of rural living with easy access to nearby towns.
