This late Victorian Villa is possibly the finest example to be found in the Royal Forest of Dean and has been beautifully renovated to an extremely high standard by the current owners. The property was originally built in the late 1800's for the local industrialist Harold J Smith when he was married. The accommodation includes Reception Hall, open Kitchen/Family Room, Utility Room, Sitting Room, Study/Games Room, Cloakroom, Master Bedroom with En-suite, 3 further Double Bedrooms and Bathroom. Planning permission has been obtained to provide a Conservatory and a loft conversion with two further Bedrooms and a Bathroom. This would provide potential for a Bed & Breakfast or for use as a three generation family home. The landscaped gardens include level lawns, garden pond, vegetable patch, various seating areas, verandah suitable for al-fresco dining, and two sets of Double Garages and driveway with parking for several cars, all with pleasant views over the village and down the valley.
