This former farmhouse stands in approximately 9 acres of ground in the Nottswood Hill area of Longhope, 10 miles west of Gloucester City. It is a home of character, the original dwelling believed to date back to the 18th century. It has been a much loved family home for many years having last been available for sale in 1934. The farmhouse kitchen features a lovely inglenook fireplace with the original existing bread oven. The property has been extended to include 2 large reception rooms and 4 bedrooms. The land is predominately sloping orchards of Blaisdon plum and a more recently established orchard of heritage apple trees. The cottage garden has a woodland area bounded by a delightful natural brook. The owners have parcels of land on Nottswood Hill available by separate negotiation. This unique package is offered for sale with 'No Onward Chain'.
