A Charming Country Cottage with Detached Annexe & Smallholding Potential

Nestled in a beautifully secluded woodland valley within the Forest of Dean, this charming and characterful cottage offers an idyllic rural lifestyle with exceptional flexibility. Set within approximately two acres of grounds and gardens, the property is a true haven, complete with a meandering brook forming its boundary and long-range countryside views.

The Main Cottage: Flexible Family Living

This delightful detached cottage offers two to three inviting bedrooms with further potential for a fourth bedroom. It boasts a generous and adaptable layout across two floors, perfect for a growing family or multi-generational living.

Four Elegant Reception Rooms, including a spacious lounge with a large wood-burning stove.

A well-appointed kitchen, utility room, and a convenient second bathroom downstairs.

Upstairs, you'll find two to three generous double bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from a private balcony with picturesque views of the surrounding woodlands and fields.

The flexible layout allows for one of the upstairs rooms to be easily converted into a third/fourth bedroom, featuring an en-suite shower and W.C.

Detached One-Bedroom Annexe & Smallholding Potential
A significant feature is the completely detached one-bedroom annexe, offering a perfect solution for multi-generational living or as a potential holiday let (subject to necessary consents).

For those seeking a rural enterprise, the property holds considerable appeal:

Smallholding Potential: With approximately 2 acres of grounds and a cph number (County Parish Holding), the property is primed for smallholding use.

Conversion Potential: The grounds also feature a 20 x 8 breeze block painted sheep shed next to the field with conversion potential into a tiny home, subject to Class Q planning permission.

Future Flexibility: The layout of the accommodation is exceptionally flexible, offering the potential to be split or reconfigured in the future.

Picturesque Location & Commuter Convenience
The property enjoys a superb rural location while remaining highly connected. The picturesque Soudley Ponds are within walking distance, and a short two-minute drive takes you to the quaint village of Blakeney, Gloucestershire. Blakeney offers local amenities including a convenience store, post office, doctor's surgery, pub, fish and chip shop, primary school, and church.

Crucially, the location offers excellent accessibility via the A48. The property is almost equidistant from major centres, being approximately an hour's drive from Cheltenham, Bristol, and Newport, which provides easy access to the M4 towards Bristol and the M5 towards Gloucester and The Midlands.
