A beautifully proportioned and impeccably presented home, offering four generous double bedrooms, three refined reception rooms, and a stylish Shaker kitchen.

Location:

The charming village of Gorsley straddles the border between South Herefordshire and the Forest of Dean, offering an enviable blend of rural beauty and everyday convenience. At the heart of the community lies a well-regarded primary school, Gorsley Goffs, highly rated by both Ofsted and SIAMS. A particular highlight of village life is The Roadmaker Inn, a characterful public house run by former Gurkha soldiers, renowned for its distinctive fusion of English and Nepalese cuisine. The village centre provides a vibrant community hub, featuring a recreation ground with children's play park, a well-stocked shop and post office offering local produce and essentials, and a welcoming café set within the Baptist church, serving freshly prepared light lunches and homemade treats. Gorsley Village Hall further enriches community life, hosting a variety of social and leisure activities-from film nights and fitness classes to private events and celebrations.

Despite its idyllic setting, Gorsley is exceptionally well-connected. The M50 motorway lies approximately half a mile away, providing swift access to the M5 and onward routes to Birmingham and Bristol. The A40, just four miles distant, links seamlessly to the M4 at Newport, opening routes to Cardiff and beyond.

The Home at a Glance:

Discreetly positioned within a peaceful cul-de-sac, this immaculately maintained home enjoys a wonderfully private setting, surrounded by open countryside and the gentle charm of village life. The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the stylish country home. An engineered oak flooring flows seamlessly into three elegant reception rooms, which afford versatility. The principal sitting room is a beautifully light-filled space, enhanced by French doors that open onto a sun-drenched terrace within the rear garden.
A feature ceiling rose adds a touch of classical elegance, while a log-burning stove set within an inset fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point-perfect for relaxed evenings. The proportions comfortably accommodate both sitting and dining areas. A separate snug offers a more intimate retreat, overlooking the central courtyard, while a third reception room is currently arranged as a private study-ideal for home working-conveniently positioned alongside a chic cloakroom with a decorative tiled floor, a countertop vanity unit, and WC.

The kitchen is both attractive and highly functional, featuring timeless Shaker-style cabinetry paired with sleek quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a double Bosch oven, ceramic hob, and fridge/freezer, while a composite sink is perfectly positioned beneath a window framing views of the garden. A separate utility room provides additional practicality, with provision for laundry appliances, further storage, and external access.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four well-appointed double bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The principal suite enjoys a peaceful outlook over the rear garden and is complemented by a contemporary en-suite shower room with a three-piece suite. One of the additional bedrooms captures delightful views across a neighbouring paddock-often home to grazing pygmy goats-adding a charming rural touch. The remaining bedrooms are equally well-proportioned. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a bath with overhead shower, a countertop vanity unit, and a WC, while an airing cupboard provides practical linen storage.

Outside:

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to give a series of inviting outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
To the rear, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, framed by well-stocked, colourful borders and enhanced by a charming wildlife pond that adds a tranquil, natural element. A patio terrace provides an ideal setting for entertaining, with a section sheltered beneath a pergola. To one side of the property, a productive kitchen garden offers a delightful space for those with green fingers, complete with a greenhouse and neatly arranged raised beds. At the front, a south-facing gravelled terrace creates a wonderful sun trap-an idyllic spot for morning coffee or relaxed outdoor seating. Elegant wisteria-clad trellising adds both character and privacy, softening the setting with seasonal colour and fragrance.

Beyond the garage, an additional section of the garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and closed-board fencing, providing a further sense of seclusion. A practical garden shed offers convenient storage for tools and equipment. The property offers excellent parking provision. A detached double garage, complete with light and power, is currently utilised as a home gym, demonstrating its versatility. Meanwhile, the generous driveway provides ample space for multiple vehicles.
