Vendors comments - I moved into this house around 17 years ago ... it was supposed to be a temporary home whilst I was looking for another one in the Forest of Dean.  Obviously I never moved.   I love the kitchen/sitting room with direct access to the patio, which is a great sun trap, and the large garden which I have enjoyed many gatherings with friends.  The wood burner makes the living room so cosy in the colder weather, but it?s lovely and cool in there in the summer months. There are beautiful views of Lydbrook Church and easy access to woodland walks, and birdsong all around.
