About this property

This country cottage, close to the village of Westbury-on-Severn, is an excellent base for those looking to explore the unspoilt countryside of Gloucestershire, including the nearby Forest of Dean and beyond. The property offers an exceptionally well equipped kitchen with table and chairs and all the appliances you could need. The kitchen leads into a bright, comfortable and cosy living room with hardwood floor and tasteful artwork on the walls, with a sofa which converts into a sofa bed. On those chillier evenings, there's a woodburning stove to keep you warm and give the room an even more welcoming feel. Also on the ground floor is the contemporary bathroom with its generous sized shower, toilet and basin. Upstairs you will find the spacious, attractive bedroom with king sized bed, en-suite toilet and plentiful storage. Although there is no designated garden area, a bench sits at the front of the cottage where you can relax, perhaps with a glass of wine in the early evening, and listen to the many birds in the hedgerow opposite and those further afield. The cottage, which is attached to the owners property, lies beside Walmore Common, accessed through a gate a few metres away. Walmore Common is an SSSI, mainly because of the birds it attracts. Although, sadly, the numbers have declined over the years, it still draws a wealth of different species, particularly in the winter months when the migratory birds such as Canada geese and Bewick swans arrive. Occasional birdwatchers, on their way to the Common, walk past the house with their binoculars and tripods. During wet winters the area floods and it's like living on the edge of a lake! The flooding is controlled, and eventually drained into the river Severn. The Common perfectly reflects the changing seasons so when the young wading birds have fledged in Spring, cattle and horses are brought onto the common for grazing. There is always something to see here!

Cinderford is a small town on the eastern fringes of the Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire, England. The town has a large number of shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants for fine food and local produce. Boasting a plethora of countryside trails for some scenic walking and cycling.
