Summary
A Substantial and highly versatile 5 bedroom detached home set within an elevated position, enjoying breathtaking country side views. EPC E
Location
Lydbrook is a civil parish standing towards the north west edge of the Royal Forest of Dean and is located in the broad valley of the River Wye. The mile and a half long high street is reputed to be the longest of any village in England! There is significant evidence of Roman occupation, whilst in recent centuries iron and steel production have played a significant part in its development. The village is home to the noted Lydbrook Brass Band, a flourishing ensemble whose recent TV appearances have included both a Lotto advert 2014, and BBC Countryfile more recently. In 2017, the Forestry Commission introduced Eurasian Beavers into an enclosed area of land uphill of the village as part of a habitat management programme. More recently, many visitors participate in outdoor pursuits including kayaking, mountain biking, walking and observation of nature.
