Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane in the peaceful village of Elmore, with the River Severn close by and open countryside stretching beyond, this is a home that feels wonderfully removed from everyday life while still being within easy reach of Gloucester.

Lovingly restored and enjoyed by the same family for nearly 50 years, the property offers a wonderful balance of character, warmth and flexibility, with accommodation arranged over three floors.

Throughout the house, windows frame views across the gardens, surrounding countryside and towards the river.

The entrance hall gives access to the sitting room, dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen, utility room and cloakroom, with stairs rising to the first floor.

The sitting room is a particularly welcoming room, with windows to both the front and rear allowing plenty of natural light to flow through.

An impressive inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove creates a lovely focal point and gives the room a warm, comfortable atmosphere.

Leading from here is a further reception room, currently used as a snug, library and music room.

With direct access to the garden, this is a beautifully versatile space which could work equally well as a home office, playroom, reading room or additional sitting room.
