Formerly two forest cottages, merged to form one dwelling in 2023 with many character features, thought to date back to the 19th century with the later addition of a flat roofed extension. Planning permission was granted, date Fri 11 Dec 2020 Forest of Dean Council - Planning Ref: P1784/20/FUL to merge the two cottages (which has already happened) and considerably increase the footprint including building on the first floor above the flat roof (copies of the plans are available on Forest Of Dean Council website and with the agents).

Flooring to the bedrooms and living room is carpet with the hallways, dining room and kitchen being a mixture of laminate and cushion floor.
