Above this, there is a large attic space ideal for further development of this home, if required (subject to necessary planning permissions). The large landing space and profile of the stairs also would allow for this to work fairly naturally within the existing space here.
The Outside
This is a home which is ideal for those looking for hobby or workshop space. The property has both a garage and a garden studio/pottery shed, with reclaimed crittal windows. The garden has a westerly aspect, ideal for soaking up afternoon and evening sun on the patio. There is a private feel due to the established line of conifer trees on the rear perimeter. The raised lawn area is spacious and makes an ideal play area or, as is currently used, a sunny spot from which to grow plants, fruit or veg.
Living in Bream
The house is situated on Parkend Road in the village of Bream. Bream is classified as a village but is the size of a small town and is reported to be one of the biggest ‘villages’ in the UK. Following Parkend Road down, leads to the smaller village of Parkend, which marks a brilliant, central spot in the Forest of Dean, with lots of small lanes and trails leading off into the Forest. Further on from this, to the north, is Newnham-on-Severn, a very popular village close to the river, home to some highly regarded venues such as Post which has earnt it’s place in the Michelin Guide 2026, and the George Cafe for a good coffee and brunch. To the south, around Lydney, Hips are mastering the coffee scene with their ‘Hips Social’ and ‘Hips Harbourside’ spots.
This is an area ideal for those who want to spend more time in nature with an abundance of options for beautiful country walks, both on the doorstep and within a short drive. Mallards Pike and Cannop Ponds are short drive away and are spots with abundant wildlife, both native and non-native, such as the Forest’s famous wild boar. ‘Pedalabikeaway’ is an off-road cycle hub and hire just nearby, from which some of the regions best bike rides can be accessed. Symonds Yat and Devils Pulpit are also just a short drive to the south-west.
Bream itself, whilst giving an untouched feeling of remoteness and has a library, primary school, gym, pub and cafe. Much of its popularity stems from still being within easy commuting distance to Bristol, Gloucester, Cardiff and Cheltenham. Monmouth is also twenty minutes away and a good spot for families with excellent state schools and private options too. With Lyndey Train Station a short drive away, getting around by public transport is also achievable in this fantastic area.
