The Forest of Dean, with its miles of woodland trails, outdoor activities, and picturesque scenery, is right on the doorstep, making this an ideal home for nature lovers. With spacious interiors, modern fittings, and stunning countryside views, this home is perfectly suited for families seeking a peaceful village lifestyle with easy access to the surrounding areas.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance hall with a tiled floor, which provides access to the main living areas. The spacious lounge is filled with natural light, thanks to the two front-facing windows that frame the lovely rural outlook. This comfortable room is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, with ample space for a variety of seating arrangements.
The modern kitchen/diner is a real highlight of the home, offering an excellent space for family meals and social gatherings. It is fitted with a range of sleek wall and base units, providing plenty of storage, and complemented by stylish laminate worktops.

The second bedroom, also a good-sized double, overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an airing cupboard housing the recently installed LPG gas-fired combi boiler, ensuring efficient heating and hot water. The third bedroom, currently used as a single room but versatile enough to serve as a home office or nursery, also offers front-facing countryside views.
