Vendors comments  Box Tree cottage seems a strange name for a house with 5 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms, but it somehow keeps a cottages cosiness within its more spacious ground plan. Once the village sawmill and adjoining house, we have very much enjoyed its adaptability and its position at the heart of the village. Suitable for a growing family and for home working, with a garden small enough not to overwhelm but big enough to enjoy, you will have scope for change, for creative development, or just to enjoy it as it is. We have loved our time here and are sure the new owners will love it too. Ruardean village is well placed at equal an equal distance from Cinderford, Coleford and Ross on Wye, handy for Hereford, Gloucester and Cheltenham, with the A40/M50 in easy reach to get you further afield. There is a primary school, an active village hall, a medical centre. Great neighbours and ready to step into a new phase in its life.
