The Common, Woolaston, Lydney GL15

Brook Cottage enjoys a very pretty edge of village location, close to the popular village centre of Woolaston with an excellent range of local amenities, as well as village activities and community spirit. Woolaston itself is located between the historic towns of Lydney and Chepstow, with Lydney being close to the famous Forest of Dean and beautiful countryside as well as Chepstow being at the lower edge of famous Wye Valley and also boasting excellent road links via the M48 motorway, bringing Cardiff, Bristol and London within reach. A good high speed rail link from Bristol Parkway brings London within daily commuting distance.

The charming cottage has been extensively renovated and extended within recent years with style and flair and now offering to the ground floor stylish orangery/reception hall leading to the main house, where you enter the bespoke and updated kitchen/family/dining room with large central island, feature fireplace with wood burning stove and bi-fold door to the gardens, to name but a few of the charming features. Leading off, is a rear hallway giving access to the utility room which also benefits from bi-fold doors and could be utilised as a pretty morning room. There is also a wine store area along with contemporary shower room. The main entrance hall is impressive with stairs to the galleried landing and leading off the hall are two reception rooms, currently used as sitting rooms with a further additional reception room which could be utilised as a home office, home gym or playroom.

Heading upstairs, the attractive galleried landing gives commanding views across the unspoilt local countryside and gives access to a principal bedroom suite, a very impressive area within the new part of the property with bi-fold doors to a large Juliet balcony, making the most of the lovely rural views. This room also benefits from a walk-in dressing room as well as two dressing room areas and contemporary shower room. The three remaining bedrooms are all of a good size and complemented by the charming family bathroom with claw-foot bath. There is also an additional family bedroom or study, depending on your requirements.

The property stands in approximately 2.5 acres of formal gardens approached via its own sweeping driveway leading to the gardens and the main property. Coming onto the driveway you pass the hardcore tennis court. There is also a range of useful outbuildings along with summerhouse.
The gardens are bounded on one side by a pretty brook, where the name of the property came from and beyond this are the unspoilt views towards the Forest of Dean. It also noteworthy that the property enjoys a sunny location with morning sun from the East hitting the front of the property and then moving around during the day towards the rear of the house, thus ensuring sunlight throughout the day.
