Situated directly beside open woodland, this two double bedroom detached bungalow enjoys a peaceful position in the highly sought-after village of Ellwood.

Additional benefits include off-road parking, a garage, and fully enclosed wraparound gardens.

Ellwood is a small, well-regarded village located in the Forest of Dean, known for its peaceful atmosphere and strong sense of community. Surrounded by woodland and countryside, it offers easy access to walking trails, local wildlife, and outdoor activities. The village is just a short drive from nearby towns such as Coleford, providing convenient access to shops, schools, and other amenities while retaining a quiet, rural feel.

Step inside through the covered entrance porch and you're welcomed by a central hallway, a practical hub from which all the main rooms flow. It’s wide enough for a hall table or shoe bench, with that comforting sense of symmetry that makes everyday living feel easy and intuitive. Natural light from the living room and rear windows filters in softly here, giving you a first glimpse of the home’s calm, leafy outlook.

The generous, full-length reception room has clear defined areas for both living and dining. The proportions will easily suit a full-size sofa suite at one end, with room for a dining table towards the rear. Sliding doors lead directly into the sunroom, and smaller windows to the side and a front aspect window allows additional light while maintaining privacy. The space is neutral, spacious, and ready for a new owner to make it their own.

Accessed via the living room, the sun room has glazing on three sides, offering a pleasant view of mature planting and greenery outside. It works well as an additional sitting area, reading spot, or even as a small home office with a garden backdrop. Radiator and power outlets are already in place.

Well laid-out and practical, the kitchen currently features a comprehensive run of cabinets and worktops with dual aspect windows for natural light. A door to the side provides direct outdoor access, ideal for bringing in shopping or stepping out to the garden. There’s clear potential to reconfigure or modernise while keeping the layout cost-efficient.

The principal bedroom is a rear-facing double bedroom which benefits from fitted wardrobes and a garden outlook. The space is well-proportioned for a double bed and bedside furniture, with neutral décor and carpet already in place.

Bedroom two is front-facing and includes a built-in wardrobe. There’s ample room here for a bed, storage, and even a desk if needed. Ideal as either a principal bedroom or a flexible second room.

Completing the bungalow, a highly functional shower room with walk-in shower cubicle, basin and WC. The current finishes are clean and serviceable, with wood-effect flooring and wipeable wall panelling. There’s an opportunity to upgrade over time, but everything is currently in working order and neatly arranged.

Outside- The gardens wrap around the property, offering green space to the front, side, and rear. At the front, a private driveway provides off-road parking and leads directly to the garage. The gardens themselves are mature and well-stocked, featuring a mix of established shrubs, trees, bushes, and flowering plants. All boundaries are enclosed by a combination of fencing and gates, creating a secure and private outdoor environment. The property enjoys a direct setting near open woodland, offering a natural backdrop and easy access to countryside walks.
