There are verdant countryside views from this home’s first-floor open-plan living room (this home has an upside-down layout with the bedrooms on the ground floor). You can enjoy the vistas from the garden with its lawn and patio too – this space is pet-friendly as well. Located in the village of Longhope in the Forest of Dean, there’s a pub a short stroll away and there are plenty of hiking and biking opportunities in the area. Or explore Gloucester with its cathedral and historical docks, just over 10 miles away.
