This charming and unique characterful cottage in a rural location offers a wonderful opportunity to own a previously registered smallholding. The property sits on approximately 1/3 acre of nutrient-rich land and is accessed via a footbridge, providing seclusion and scenic beauty. There is potential for expansion, such as converting the loft into a third bedroom or transforming an outbuilding into a self-contained holiday let, all subject to the necessary planning consent.
Located in Soudley Village, close to Cinderford, the property is near a primary school, the Dean Heritage Centre with its popular café, a public house, and the scenic Soudley Ponds. This property is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with the potential for self-sufficiency and expansion, with its character features, extensive gardens, and versatile outbuildings making it a unique and desirable home.
The interior of the cottage includes a lounge with a brick-built fireplace and wooden mantle, wood effect flooring, alcoves with fitted timber cupboards, and a dado rail. The lounge provides access to the front garden through an obscure double-glazed door. The spacious kitchen/diner features a stone fireplace with a Rayburn that provides hot water, a range of base and wall units, a double oven, an electric hob with a cooker hood, and a Georgian bar double-glazed window overlooking the garden and beautiful views. A wooden plank thumb latch door leads to the stairs and lounge.
The first floor comprises two bedrooms. Bedroom One has a UPVC double-glazed window with views of the front garden, while Bedroom Two includes a built-in wardrobe and a Georgian bar window with garden views. The bathroom features a panelled bath with a mixer tap and shower attachment, a shower cubicle, part-tiled walls, a chrome heated towel rail, and a Georgian bar double-glazed window.
There has previously been planning permission in place for a loft conversion however this could be re applied for to increase the living space in the property.
Outside - Externally, a gate leads round to the front entrance to the property, with a flagstone courtyard. Coal and timber stores are just inside the gate at the rear of the property. The rear garden boasts a pagoda with climbing wisteria and roses, a flagstone pathway through a terraced garden with lawns, flower borders, and mature shrubs, and a feature arch with grapevine leading to Outbuilding One. Steps lead to further terraces, a vegetable patch, and lawned areas, culminating in a greenhouse, various sheds, a soft fruit area, a septic tank, and a stream at the bottom of the garden with views of fields, forest, and woodland.
Outbuilding One is stone-built with storage space, power, lighting, plumbing, a small Belfast sink, and a high-level cistern W.C. Outbuilding Two provides additional storage space with power.
