An expansive four/five bedroom chalet bungalow with 1.13 acres, double garage, pool room and superb potential.
A rare opportunity to purchase a remarkably versatile home set in an elevated and peaceful position on Joyford Hill, offering exceptional space, large 1.13 acre plot, extensive gardens, paddock, double garage, pool room and loft games room. Loved by the same family for many years, this generous property offers 2,634 sq ft of accommodation (excluding the detached double garage and pool house) and enjoys wonderful open outlooks over the surrounding countryside.
Designed by the sellers family 65 years ago, for comfortable, versatile living, the accommodation is arranged to suit a wide range of needs, with well-proportioned rooms and an easy, practical flow throughout. The generous footprint allows for family living, working from home or multi-generational use, all while enjoying a peaceful, semi-rural setting. Beyond the main accommodation, the grounds, paddock and outbuildings offer further possibility - ideal for hobbies, outdoor enjoyment or future ideas - with the indoor pool and detached double garage enhancing both lifestyle and convenience.
Location
Berry Hill sits in a sought-after edge-of-village position and provides a strong range of amenities including junior and secondary schools, pubs, a takeaway restaurant, petrol station and garage, hairdressers, chemist and convenience stores – one of which incorporates a post office. The village also benefits from a social club, gymnastics and fitness centre, and a well-regarded rugby club with the popular Pitchside Café. The neighbouring market town of Coleford lies around 11⁄2 miles away and offers an even wider selection of facilities including two golf courses, supermarkets, shops, a post office, primary school, cinema and regular bus links to Gloucester (approximately 22 miles). For broader connections, Monmouth is roughly 4–5 miles away by car, Lydney around 8 miles, and Gloucester approximately 20 miles. Lydney also provides the nearest railway station with direct services giving convenient links to both Bristol and Cardiff.
