Neds Top, Oldcroft, Lydney

One/two bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a peaceful and secluded position on the edge of the hamlet of Oldcroft. The property was partially extended some years ago to provide scope for additional living space. However, the extension remains unfinished, with no windows or internal access to the main house at present. A rare opportunity offering enormous potential to create a delightful home in a tranquil rural setting.

The property is entered via a small hallway that establishes a practical and well-connected layout. From here, a door opens into the spacious kitchen, which spans the full width of the home. This generous room offers superb potential to be transformed into a bright and inviting hub of the house. Currently fitted with a range of units and appliances, it provides ample space for both cooking and dining, with room to accommodate a family table or breakfast area. With thoughtful modernisation, it could easily become a light-filled, sociable space ideal for everyday living. Off the hallway, there is also a convenient downstairs W/C a useful addition that enhances the practicality of the ground floor.

The living room sits at the front of the property and is a well-proportioned, welcoming space with plenty of scope to create a comfortable, character-filled setting. A large window draws in natural light, while a feature stone fireplace provides an appealing focal point that could be beautifully restored or reimagined to suit personal taste. The room’s generous size allows for a variety of furniture layouts, with ample space for a large sofa suite, media unit, and additional furnishings  perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. With some updating and redecoration, it has the potential to become a warm and inviting sitting room that flows naturally back toward the kitchen and hallway.

Upstairs, the layout continues to impress with two well-sized bedrooms. At the top of the stairs, the first bedroom offers excellent scope to be transformed into a comfortable and versatile space, with room for a double bed, wardrobe, and desk or dressing table. A window allows light to fill the room, and with redecoration, it could easily become a relaxing retreat, ideal as a guest room or home office.

The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and provides generous proportions, making it a wonderful opportunity to create a calm and restful haven. There is ample space for a large bed, wardrobes, and additional furnishings, while dual windows help to make the room bright and airy. With updating, this space could be beautifully reimagined as a serene principal bedroom or a cosy family space.

Outside, the property sits within a generous garden plot that offers fantastic potential for improvement and landscaping. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, it provides a private and natural setting ideal for those seeking a peaceful outdoor retreat. There is ample room for seating, planting areas, and even space for vegetable beds or a play area. With some clearing and thoughtful design, the garden could become a wonderful extension of the home, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery.
