Location:

Ruardean Woodside sits on the western cusp of The Royal Forest of Dean - a setting that offers 24,000 acres of glorious countryside, thereby presenting an ideal landscape for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. The village includes a village hall, a sports club and a primary school which has a 'Good' Ofsted grade. In terms of secondary education, the closest school is Dene Magna in Mitcheldean, which is four miles away.
The village also has a bus route - the closest stop is around the corner, a few minutes' walk from Andross.

The home at a glance:

Andross is set within the edge of the village, opposite an area of ancient woodland, presenting an idyllic outlook. The accommodation comprises:

• An entrance porch, which feeds into the reception hall.
• A snug that includes an electric stove, framed within a feature fireplace.
There is also a ceiling rose, a bay window and a cupboard housing the newly fitted boiler.

• The master bedroom also features a bay window and a ceiling rose. From here, there are two doors, one leading into a dressing room, and another to a jack-and-jill bathroom which is also accessible from the reception hall. This includes an infra-red sauna, a jacuzzi corner bath - complete with a rain shower with back jets and footspa, and a radio - plus a WC and a basin.

• The kitchen carries chic grey shaker-style units which are complemented by marble-effect countertops. There are several integrated Indesit appliances which include a dishwasher, a double oven, a ceramic hob with an angled extractor fan and a fridge/freezer. There is also plenty of pull-out storage and a 1 + 1/2 sink with a mixer tap.

• The sitting room carries a log-burning stove on a tiled platform, which is framed by attractive wooden surround. An archway at the other end of the room leads into a light-streamed dining room which includes two sets of French doors - one set gives access to the manicured rear garden, and the other leads into the conservatory.

• A large utility room includes plumbing for a washing machine, space for a condenser tumble dryer, storage units, and room for such appliances as a chest freezer.

• The staircase includes a large under-stair cupboard and leads to the first floor.

• Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 each feature vaulted and beamed ceilings and picture rails. Both rooms also bear vanity units, built-in storage and custom-built furniture within alcoves. Bedroom 2 boasts arguably the best view in the home - as it frames a vista of the Welsh Black Mountains in the far distance.

• Bedroom 4 also includes a pitched ceiling, another bespoke chest of drawers, a Velux window and a large storage area with hanging rail.
The family bathroom includes a bath, a walk-in shower, a wall-hung WC, a pedestal wash basin and a heated towel rail.

• Outside, there is an array of 13 solar panels within the pristine rear garden, which offers a high degree of privacy. This comprises a patio seating area, two level lawn terraces, well-stocked borders and a greenhouse. There is a large garden storage outbuilding which could be converted into an outdoor office (STP). In terms of parking arrangements, there is an in-and-out gated driveway, a carport and a detached garage with a roller shutter door. In addition, there are two separate workshops. Both garage and workshops offer power supply and lighting.
