Property Details

Chancellors is proud to present this unique property consisting of multiple buildings and extensive grounds. The opportunities already available for generating income are many and the potential to add more are clear. As well as the main, five bedroom, detached character property itself; there are three holiday cottages and various outbuildings all set in around 2½ acres of land.

Around a mile to the east of Coleford, at the end of a tree-lined, Forestry Commission maintained private road, the main property is grade II listed and is one of the most historical buildings within the Forest of Dean. Ten miles to the south of Ross-On-Wye and with the cities of Gloucester and Hereford to the east and north respectively, the property also has direct access to various mountain bike trails and myriad walks in the surrounding countryside.

The entrance hall to the main house is a feature in its own right and offers a mere hint as to what the rest of the property has to offer with the history of the building immediately on show. To the left is a family room which would make an ideal play room or home office. Straight ahead is the dining room, with access via a porch to the outside, with the living room to the side. This features the original stone fireplace complete with log burner, a built-in cupboard to the side, a window seat set into the deep external wall and more evidence of the property’s history in the form of exposed ceiling beams.

The kitchen/diner benefits from a range of wall and base units, spaces for a fridge/freezer and cooker, a Belfast sink under one of the three windows, a door into another enclosed porched entrance and access to the cloakroom with wc and sink.

The first floor is home to four of the five bedrooms all of which feature fitted wardrobes and cupboards of differing styles and they share use of the family bathroom with its bath, wc, sink and more cupboard spaces. The second floor is home to the fifth bedroom with its adjacent shower room with wc and sink. There is a further shower room which can be accessed directly from one of the first floor bedrooms - making it a rather useful and unique en-suite arrangement. One of the rooms has a feature fireplace and there is a separate room on the landing with a shower cubicle.

To the side of the main house is an attached double garage and there is parking space for multiple vehicles all around.
The second of the two largest buildings forming part of this proposition houses the three holiday cottages. These are presented to a very high standard and are currently run as a successful holiday lettings business. All have their own unique layout and feature kitchens, living and dining areas, shower rooms and bedrooms - one of which has a double bedroom on the ground floor with the other cottages offering two bedrooms on the first floor. All of the cottages have their own outside spaces with dining and entertaining areas.

Another outbuilding has been used for business purposes, set up as a beauty salon with treatment rooms, cloakroom, utility and reception room, this building has the potential to be converted into further living accommodation or to be reconfigured into some other form of business.

There is a log cabin in the grounds with its own outdoors hot tub and two further outbuildings, both of similar dimensions with one split into to two separate storage areas. Both of these buildings also offer development potential (subject to the necessary permissions as always). There is a smaller outbuilding which offers a shower room with wc and sink and a utility space (to complement another shared utility room in the cottages’ building, accessed from the outside). These offer facilities for guests making use of the camping/glamping facilities available in the field offering electrical hook-ups for such purposes.

Outside of the main house there are various patio and garden areas with possibilities for outside entertaining plentiful and varied (stone built barbecues for example). The grounds are surrounded by glorious woodland with well established trees whilst the gardens around all of the properties also offer trees, shrubs and established borders.

Trying to convey everything on offer at this truly unique property through words and pictures alone is an impossible task. The only way to fully appreciate what is on offer is to discuss it with us and come and have a look for yourself. With multiple business opportunities, an ideal location and peaceful, beautiful surroundings, this truly is a rare opportunity and we look forward to sharing more information about it with you.
