An inviting rural retreat, this Gloucestershire property boasts incredible views across the landscape towards the River Severn. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway enjoys a peaceful position on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Within 5.5 miles are opportunities for walking and cycling, as well as popular hotspots like Cannop Cycle Centre, Mallards Pike Lake, and Go Ape. Puzzlewood (8 miles) is great and used as the filming location for various famous fantasy films, while Symonds Yat Rock is just 10 miles away and equally beautiful. Newnham-on-Severn (1.8 miles) is one of the Forest of Dean's most charming riverside villages. Stroll through its historic high street, browse the local art gallery, or check out its welcoming pubs and restaurants. For everyday essentials, Cinderford (2 miles) offers supermarkets, shops and a variety of pubs and services. Gloucester and its legendary cathedral are just 13 miles away.
Follow the impressive private driveway and pull into the parking bay. A few steps take you down to the entrance, which opens straight into the kitchen. It is a modern, well-planned space with an electric oven and hob, and plenty of worktop room for unpacking local finds or getting supper underway. From here, the layout flows into the open-plan lounge/diner. The dining table sits just where you want it, close to the kitchen for easy serving, before the room opens out into a generous sitting area with a Smart TV, a wood burner and ample space to unwind. There is a quieter nook in the corner, positioned by the double doors leading out to the enclosed courtyard. Upstairs, find two sizeable bedrooms. On the right, the king-size room has a dressing table, Velux windows and its own en-suite bathroom with a bath. To the left, the twin room offers two single beds, hanging space and drawers, along with its own en-suite shower room with a large shower and WC.
The outdoor space is outstanding, with several seating areas to choose from. The first is an L-shaped bench with a table and an egg chair; the second is a set of sun loungers; and finally, a bistro-style dining table and chairs offer al fresco dining. Lap up those rolling Gloucester views while you recline with a bottle of fizz or your morning latte. Finishing the home is the private parking for three cars.
