Detached house for sale in High Street, Lydney, Gloucestershire GL15

This attractive, detached Victorian villa, situated within a conservation area and within convenient level walking distance of Lydney town centre, is well located for city commuters and has the potential to be a magnificent family home.

Cherished for many years by its previous owner, the six-bedroom property has a host of beautiful, traditional features, with a grand wooden staircase, elegant high ceilinged reception rooms, large sash windows and period coving and picture rails. Other lovely details include some decorative ceiling roses, solid wood floorboards, original four panel doors and some stunning feature fireplaces. Whilst in need of refurbishment and modernisation, the large property has the significant advantage of a new roof.

The townhouse also has the benefit of a prime corner location, with gardens extending to 0.85 acres, including a former tennis court. The generous amount of land provides the option to create a wonderful landscaped setting for the period property.

Lydney is a small town at the gateway to the beautiful and atmospheric Forest of Dean, a designated National Forest Park and a popular destination for walking and outdoor pursuits. On the banks of the tidal River Severn, the town has a secondary school, several primary schools, a variety of shops, two town-centre supermarkets and a range of leisure and recreation facilities.

Cities like Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, Newport and Cardiff are within easy reach and Lydney benefits from a railway station on the Gloucester-Newport line.
