3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Offered for sale via Hattons Online Auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is in need of full renovation throughout and presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers. The property benefits from no onward chain, spacious accommodation, and significant potential, all set within the popular village of Lydbrook. This characterful property presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to take on a comprehensive renovation project, offering generous proportions, a traditional layout and clear scope to add value throughout.

Lydbrook is celebrated for its stunning setting along the River Wye and its close proximity to the Wye Valley. The village is nestled amidst picturesque woodlands, offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventures like walking, hiking, and exploring nature trails. Its location provides easy access to nearby attractions, including Symonds Yat, a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts and the Forest of Dean, where you can enjoy a variety of activities and visit popular spots like the Sculpture Trail and Puzzlewood.

The home is entered via a small entrance lobby, which opens directly into the first of two reception rooms. Positioned at the front of the property, this main reception room is a well-proportioned space with enough width to comfortably accommodate a full seating arrangement. A traditional fireplace provides a natural focal point, while a front-facing window allows natural light to filter in, highlighting the room’s potential once refurbished. With its straightforward shape and good wall space, this room would make an ideal main sitting room.

Beyond this, the second reception room sits at the heart of the ground floor and incorporates the staircase rising to the first floor. This room offers excellent flexibility and could be used as a dining room, family room or an additional living space, depending on how a buyer chooses to reconfigure the property. The position of the stairs helps define the layout without overwhelming the room, leaving ample space for a dining table or informal seating area. Subject to works, this space could also form part of a more open-plan arrangement.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen, a compact but functional room that is clearly in need of full modernisation. Despite its current condition, it benefits from natural light via a rear window and has direct access outside, making it well suited to redesign as a brighter, more contemporary kitchen. With thoughtful planning, there is scope to improve both storage and workflow, or to explore alterations as part of a wider refurbishment scheme.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the ground floor bathroom, fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC. A window provides natural light and ventilation, and while the room is dated, its proportions allow for a complete refit to create a modern and practical bathroom, or potential reconfiguration subject to requirements.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where three bedrooms are arranged around a small central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size, offering plenty of space for a double bed, wardrobes and additional furniture. The remaining two bedrooms are also well-proportioned, making them suitable for use as further double bedrooms, guest rooms or home offices. Each room benefits from natural light via its own window and offers a blank canvas for buyers to redesign and modernise.

Externally, the property sits within a plot that further enhances its appeal. The surrounding grounds are currently overgrown but offer tremendous potential for landscaping, gardening or creating outdoor seating areas. From the garden and surrounding land, there are open views across rolling countryside and woodland, providing a peaceful and scenic backdrop that is rarely found. With careful clearance and design, the outdoor space could become a real feature of the home, perfectly complementing the rural setting.
