Located 4 miles from both Lydney and Chepstow, this delightful four-bedroom detached extended cottage, offers a perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience. It also benefits from approx. 3.3 acres of grounds, solar panels with batteries, garage, stables and menage. The original stone-built cottage, believed to date back to the early nineteenth century, exudes a timeless charm, while the addition of a single-storey extension and a large conservatory in the mid 1990s enhances its space and functionality.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a spacious driveway with ample turning and parking space for multiple vehicles, leading round to the rear of the property. The extensive gardens, mostly laid to lawn, wrap around the home and are beautifully enhanced with a variety of mature bushes, plants, rose borders, and flowers. An orchard featuring plum, greengage, and apple trees provides a tranquil retreat and a touch of rural beauty. For those with a passion for gardening or DIY projects, the property boasts several outbuildings, including a detached double garage complete with power and lighting, a car port, a greenhouse, a well and a garden shed. There is also a vegetable patch for those keen to cultivate their own produce.
Equestrian enthusiasts will be thrilled with the comprehensive facilities on offer. The wooden stable block features three stables and a tack room, which could easily be converted into a fourth stable if needed. At the rear of the stable yard is a separate metal shed used as a feed room. The property also includes a floodlit manège (40m x 20m) and a four-bay horse walker, providing ample space for training and exercise. The adjoining approx. three-acre field is currently arranged to provide three paddocks. A large one, a medium one and a small one, offers the potential for further development and other uses, for example; wild camping (subject to necessary planning consent). There is water supply in two places and electric supply, and there's potential to convert the stable block to provide shower and toilet facilities if desired, however, a change of planning permission would be required.
Located in Stroat, this property enjoys excellent transport links, with convenient access to both Lydney and Chepstow, as well as major travel routes via the A48. Whether you're drawn to the charm of the property itself or the equestrian facilities on offer, this home is an ideal choice for those seeking space, tranquillity, and country living with excellent local amenities.
A truly unique opportunity to own a slice of countryside paradise with character, charm, and versatility.
