Lensbrook, Lydney

The Forest of Dean is a beautiful and expansive forested area in Gloucestershire, renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and outdoor recreational opportunities. Lensbrook, situated within this ancient woodland, is conveniently located between the market towns of Lydney and Blakeney. Lydney offers a range of local amenities, including shops and schools, and has a thriving community spirit. Blakeney, known for its charming village atmosphere, provides picturesque views and a welcoming environment. Both towns contribute to the area's appeal, combining natural beauty with practical conveniences.

Approached via a gated entrance and a beautiful tree-lined driveway, this attractive 3-bedroom barn conversion alongside its 2-bedroom annexe is set amidst 13.5 acres of undulating land, offering wonderful views. This well-loved home has been cherished by a multi-generational family for an impressive 28 years. The sale comes as the family has outgrown the land, a testament to the property's enduring appeal and the deep connections it has fostered. Located just 12 miles from Chepstow, the property enjoys excellent transport links to the M4 and M5, with easy access to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Bristol.

The main barn features a spacious lounge/diner, a country-style kitchen with an Aga, and a convenient cloakroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite (currently being refurbished) and fitted wardrobes. Two additional double bedrooms-one with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom complete the upper floor.

The separate 2-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation, is a single-storey dwelling with its own private entrance. It includes a utility room, cloakroom, and an open-plan kitchen/lounge with a stove. The annexe also offers a natural stone wetroom, a single bedroom, and a principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. Fully underfloor heated, this cosy and independent living space ensures comfort year-round.

Outside - Equestrian enthusiasts or hobby farmers will appreciate the L-shaped Loddon stable block, which includes five stables, all equipped with electric and water drinkers. Additionally, there are three Loddon pony boxes, currently used for housing pigs, along with a tack room with power and water, two greenhouses, and another stable at the front, now repurposed for storage. A separate timber office with power, lighting, and a BT point provides a convenient workspace. All fields have water connected, though not all are suitable for horses. There is also an overgrown menage, which would require restoration.

While the property requires some finishing touches and pylons are visible on neighbouring land, the stunning views and convenient setting in the sought-after Forest of Dean make this home a rare find. Some road noise may be heard due to a nearby main road, but the property's rural charm and extensive land more than compensate for this.

This versatile home would suit families, couples, or anyone seeking a countryside lifestyle with the potential for equestrian use or small-scale farming.

Agents Note: There is a public footpath within the grounds of Old Street Barn. Please call for further information.
