Location
Hangerberry is situated on the fringes of the village of Lydbrook which offers magnificent views from its high slopes. It lies on the north-west edge of the Royal Forest of Dean - an area which offers 24,000 acres of glorious countryside and presents an ideal landscape for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling.
The River Wye is a short stroll - around a mile away - and a picnic site at Lower Lydbrook in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) allows launching canoes or enjoying scenic riverside walks.
Lydbrook also features a wealth of local amenities including a primary school - rated 'Good' by Ofsted – plus three reputable pubs, a post office, a convenience store, a health centre, an Indian restaurant and an award-winning fish and chip shop.
The home at a glance
This quaint and charming cottage carries an authentic historic character and serves as a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The front door, which includes a quirky gargoyle door knocker, leads into a reception porch - a space which gives plenty of room to remove muddy boots and coats after time spent enjoying the great outdoors.
This leads into the first of two reception rooms - a space that sets a striking scene. This dual-aspect area boasts a stone inglenook fireplace as its primary focal point and this houses a multi-fuel stove. There are also other traditional features, including a beamed ceiling, sash windows, exposed sandstone and, to the left of the chimney breast, there are shelves built into the alcove. As this leads into the kitchen, it could serve as an ideal dining room.
This kitchen is a beautifully bright triple-aspect room. A stable door leads out to the front garden and there are plenty of wooden floor-and-eye level units, space for a range cooker, and a sink with a pullout spray tap. At the far end of the kitchen, there is a shower room which contains a three-piece white suite.
The second reception room, on the opposite side of the home, is another magnificent expanse. It carries two sash windows overlooking the front garden, plus a timbered ceiling and another inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel stove. There is a built-in cupboard to the left of the chimney breast, with a shelf beneath - giving a perfect spot to display pretty trinkets and pictures. On the right-hand side, an old stone staircase winds around the fireplace but is blocked off behind a bijou door at the top.
A staircase in the first reception room winds up to the top floor of the property which contains two double bedrooms, both of which carry sash windows that exhibit the front garden and ancient woodland beyond. One of the bedrooms boasts a built-in wardrobe and the other hosts access to the loft.
The great outdoors
The garden is predominantly laid out in front and to the side of the cottage. A crazy paved pathway leads around the terraced grounds, which include a wealth of raised beds, including an extensive kitchen garden area. There is a large, flat space outside the front of the home, offering a peaceful spot for an alfresco dining area.
