Description
The popular village of Alvington is a charming community offering a range of amenities, including a village pub and a local garage and convenience store, all set against picturesque countryside walks. Just approximately 4 miles away, Lydney town provides a wider variety of facilities such as shops, banks, building societies, and supermarkets. Lydney also boasts a sports centre, golf course, hospital, doctors' surgeries, and both primary and secondary schools, ensuring all your needs are well catered for.
Beyond Lydney, the stunning Forest of Dean offers an abundance of woodland and river walks, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The area benefits from easy access to the Severn crossings and the M4 motorway, facilitating convenient travel to London, Bristol, and Cardiff. Additionally, Gloucester and Cheltenham are within reach for those wishing to connect with the M5 and explore the Midlands.
STEP INSIDE: - As you step inside through the modern PVC front door, you will be greeted by two generous bedrooms - one located to the front and the other overlooking the rear garden.
Exiting off the hall, which has wooden flooring, you have access to the shower wet room and the spacious lounge, featuring a charming fireplace with a wood burner and a large window overlooking the front garden.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the property, equipped with wall and base cupboards and plenty of space for a small breakfast table. It offers lovely views out towards the patio and garden area, where trailing clematis and mature plants adorn the covered pergola, providing a charming, sheltered space at the rear of the home.
Outside - The property features a low-maintenance rear garden, primarily laid to patio, with several seating areas to enjoy the open countryside views. It also benefits from a garage and ample parking space. The front of the property is level and lawned, enclosed by a brick boundary wall, enhancing privacy and curb appeal.
AGENT'S NOTE:
The property is currently going through probate.
