Description

Set amidst beautifully landscaped grounds circa 1.2 acres, this charming two/three bedroom detached cottage offers a perfect balance of modern comfort and characterful charm, whilst still providing exciting scope to further modernisation or tailor the property to one's individual taste.

Approached via automatic gated access, the property enjoys a sense of exclusivity and privacy, with a large driveway offering ample parking for up to six vehicles. Beyond the main residence, a recently renovated self-contained two-bedroom annexe provides versatile accommodation ideal for multi-generational living, guest use, or potential holiday let income (subject to the necessary consents).

The cottage itself blends traditional features with tasteful contemporary touches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Each room has been thoughtfully arranged to retain the property's unique character.

Externally, the gardens are a true highlight-professionally landscaped and beautifully maintained, they feature an array of mature trees, shrubs, plants, and vibrant flowers, offering a picturesque and tranquil setting reminiscent of a private countryside oasis. Multiple gates at the rear lead directly into adjoining forestry land, perfect for scenic woodland walks and exploring nature straight from your doorstep.

This delightful home truly offers the best of both worlds-a peaceful rural retreat with flexibility and future potential, all within a stunning natural setting.

Located in Blaize-Bailey, on the edge of the historic village of Newnham, 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.
