Freehold
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to build a dream home on an outstanding building plot of approximately 1.9 acres. Set in a stunning location high on the side of the renowned Wye Valley, the plot offers wide-reaching views in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The airy, south-facing grounds are gently sloping with well-established fruit trees to front and rear. Natural woodland of approximately one acre creates a 'secret garden' with a stream, native oak, beech and hazel and a riot of spring snowdrops, daffodils, ancient wood anemones and wild garlic. By late April, a sheer carpet of bluebells is this woodland retreat's crowning glory.
| | The plot includes a habitable three-bedroomed bungalow, which was happily lived in until recently. | |||
| | The plot has had planning permission granted for a substantial four-bedroomed house with additional annexe accommodation and a double garage. Planning, which has no expiry date, can be viewed on the Forest of Dean District Council Planning Portal: | |||
