Ediths Cottage, 4 Hughes Terrace, Lydney, GL15 4JL

This charming mid-terrace stone cottage is tucked away in the much loved village of Parkend in the heart of the Forest of Dean. It is a home of character with a calm and quiet atmosphere.

The owners have completely refurbished the cottage and it is currently operating as a successful holiday let. It is very comfortable and extremely well presented.

From the sitting room French doors open onto a raised terrace that overlooks the peaceful cottage garden. This room features a lovely original stone fireplace with wood burning stove.

The kitchen is bright and cheerful and there are two good double bedrooms. Outbuildings include the laundry/utility room and brick built garden shed.

Parkend is a traditional village gathered around the central village cricket green and surrounded by open woodland.

It has a Post Office, shop and cafe, a community hall, primary school and a couple of country pubs. Whitemead Park with it swimming facilities and bar is a short walk.
