St. Briavels, Lydney, Gloucestershire

The Hampden is a versatile four-bedroom detached home offering excellent potential for modernisation, set within approximately 4.12 acres of gardens, woodland and paddocks in a desirable Forest of Dean location. It really is a magical rural retreat.

The Property

The Hampden offers substantial and versatile accommodation with a wealth of character and considerable scope for modernisation.

The ground-floor accommodation is approached through an entrance porch, which opens into the hallway. From here, there is access to the generously proportioned drawing room, featuring an attractive fireplace and a window overlooking the front of the property. A broad arched opening connects the drawing room with an adjoining reception area, creating an impressive and adaptable living space. The drawing room also leads into a conservatory, which enjoys views across the surrounding gardens and countryside.

A further spacious reception room features an exposed stone fireplace and two windows to the front aspect. A door opens into an inner hallway, providing access to the sitting room and kitchen. Positioned to the side of the property, the sitting room benefits from a fireplace, bay window and two further windows, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, together with an integrated oven and hob, and is complemented by an adjoining utility room. A shower room and separate cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the initial landing provides access to two bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage, and the family bathroom. Further stairs rise to another landing with additional storage and access to the generous principal bedroom and a further double bedroom. Positioned at the front of the property, the principal bedroom makes the most of the stunning views across the Wye Valley.

Outside

The Hampden occupies a central position within approximately 4.12 acres of gardens, woodland and paddocks. Approached via a private driveway, the property benefits from ample off-road parking for several vehicles and a double garage.

Adjoining the parking area is a substantial detached outbuilding divided into three sections, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses or possible conversion into an annexe or holiday accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The grounds include formal lawns, several seating areas, a landscaped patio and established woodland with pathways winding through. Paddocks surround the driveway and benefit from gated roadside access. A particular highlight is the superb far-reaching outlook enjoyed from the front of the property.

The Hampden can only be described as a magical rural retreat. It is a property that will be appreciated by all who view.
