Adjoining the house is a two room annexe, which is currently used as a family room and bedroom, which could become incorporated within the house, or developed to provide a self-contained wing.
All principal rooms have lovely views and the interior has a warm, friendly, and charming atmosphere. The sitting room is a comfortable room with a bay window and a fireplace fitted with a log burning stove, overlooking the valley. The dining room also overlooks the valley. The kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with an Aga, has a wooded outlook over its garden. The rear flagstone hall gives access to the cellar, boot/utility room and shower room, and acts as the heart of the property. On the first floor and second floors there are each two bedrooms and bathrooms. All have superb views either over its grounds or the surrounding countryside. They all have their own character and are lovely rooms.
Sandford House is approached either on foot via the garden gate leading to the front door, or vehicular access is through the double garage doors into the car port. It can also be accessed through the farm gate which takes you directly into the farmyard. The wrought iron gate opens into the low maintenance gardens which are mostly post and rail fenced, with a stone and tile garden implement store. There is a raised south facing terrace, ideal for entertaining, backed by two original high brick walls with a mature vine, looking over the land and valley.
The gardens lie mainly to lawn interspersed with many mature trees including a Lily tree, Ginko, Indian Bean, Copper Beech, Poplar and Eucalyptus. Fruit trees include Apple, Damson and Sloe.
The outbuildings have a separate vehicular access from Sandford Road and are grouped around a grass courtyard with stone walls and an agricultural gate leads into the adjoining land.
There are former brick and tile pig styes, an open fronted two bay outbuilding/log store with an adjoining former stone and tile chicken house. They all offer potential for development, subject to the necessary consents.
A former stone and tile stables/coach house has been converted into an excellent studio/home office with a mezzanine floor, part full height with vaulted ceiling and exposed roof truss, and an A frame window at first floor level. The ground floor has a fitted workstation, kitchenette and cloakroom. The mezzanine level is accessed over an easy staircase and is currently used as a studio. This space offers an abundance of potential and flexibility for a potential purchaser.
The land of about 5.22 acres has a seasonal pond, lies to the south, north and west. The Ferneyley Brook forms the southern boundary and the land adjoins the Lyndney Park Estate.
Aylburton is an attractive village with a strong community in the Forest of Dean. Sandford House is situated in an attractive position overlooking its land and a gentle valley and adjoins the Lydney Park Estate. The Ferneyley Brook runs along its southern boundary.
