Description
Although the property has been configured to offer a large floor area with integral access on the ground floor, the buildings could be divided and repurposed to create self contained spaces for multi-generational living/or other income generating opportunities such as Airbnb.
Originally two shop fronts, the home has been thoughtfully converted to provide exceptionally spacious and beautifully presented accommodation, brimming with original features and charming details throughout.
Inside, the property retains much of its period character, with a wealth of architectural features that include exposed beams, original fireplaces, sash windows, and decorative woodwork, all combining to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
In addition to the main house, there is an attached three-storey cottage offering flexible living potential. With the necessary planning consents, this space could be transformed into a fully self-contained annexe-ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential holiday let.
To the rear, the enclosed garden is a true haven for nature lovers and keen gardeners alike. Thoughtfully landscaped, it features a mix of lawned areas, traditional flagstone patios, and a thriving vegetable patch-perfect for those with a passion for growing their own produce.
Two outbuildings offer further versatility: an outdoor utility room and a separate workshop, both of which hold exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation or home office space (subject to the relevant planning permissions).
This property is a rare gem that combines period elegance with generous living space, all set within the vibrant and historic setting of Newnham.
Located on the historic village of Newnham's High St which sits on the banks of the River Severn and is rich with history dating back to Roman beginnings. This picturesque hamlet now offers great opportunities for all age groups, with a range of amenities to include a village shop, library, galleries, cafe and pub.
A wider range of facilities also available throughout the Forest of Dean including an abundance of woodland and river walks. The Severn Crossings and M4 towards London, Bristol and Cardiff are easily reached from this area along with the cities of Gloucester and Cheltenham for access onto the M5 and the Midlands.
