The Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills are both within easy reach, offering some of the region’s finest scenery and outdoor leisure opportunities.

Despite its rural charm, Moor Oak Cottage remains well connected. The M50 motorway is a short drive away, linking smoothly to the M5 for travel to Bristol, Birmingham, and beyond.

For those seeking a slower pace, the village and surrounding hamlets offer a vibrant sense of community, with local fairs, music events, and country shows providing year-round enjoyment.

For families, active retirees, and equestrian buyers alike, life at Moor Oak Cottage captures the best of the English countryside: Peace without isolation, space without compromise, and character without pretence.

It is a place where days are measured in quiet moments and open skies, where every season brings new colour to the garden, and where a deep sense of home is felt from the very first step inside.

Originally dating back to the 17th century, the cottage has evolved thoughtfully over the years through sensitive extensions and a skilful barn conversion, creating a generous, detached freehold residence of around 2,500 square feet.

Every corner reveals a blend of old and new, from the exposed beams and thick stone walls with arrow-slit windows to the modern comforts of double glazing and oil-fired central heating.

Stepping inside, the entrance lobby leads to a welcoming farmhouse style, family breakfast room that flows through an archway into the newly fitted, high-specification kitchen.

An inner reception hallway leads to a comfortable sitting room where a feature fireplace and log-burning stove create the perfect setting for cosy evenings.

A tucked-away study area provides a quiet space for home working or reading. The conversion of the attached stone barn has added remarkable flexibility to the home.

The ground floor now includes two further reception rooms; a stunning living room or formal dining area with a vaulted ceiling, log burning stove, exposed trusses, and a large picture window drawing in soft natural light, and a versatile study which could be used as an additional guest bedroom.

A cloakroom, useful utility/store cupboard and conservatory complete this level, providing extra relaxation and family space.

Upstairs, a split-level landing connects three double bedrooms and a family bathroom finished in a traditional style that suits the cottage’s character.

From the galleried landing, an exposed beam archway leads into the converted barn section and impressive principal bedroom.

This room feels both private and spacious, framed by exposed brickwork and original timbers that tell the home’s long story.

It’s a peaceful retreat with a lovely outlook over the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond. Outside, the setting is every bit as special as the interior.

Approached by a tree-lined gravel driveway, the cottage sits within approximately half an acre of landscaped gardens.

Mature trees, lawns, and colourful borders wrap around the property, creating both beauty and privacy.

There’s a sheltered terrace for outdoor dining, a productive vegetable garden, and a small orchard offering seasonal fruit. Practical outbuildings make this home as functional as it is picturesque.

A large detached garage provides excellent storage and workshop space, while the stable block adds potential for hobbies, a pony, or conversion into a studio or home office (subject to permissions).

There’s also a charming brick-built summer house and a greenhouse tucked neatly within the grounds.

Every aspect of the outdoor space complements the easy, countryside lifestyle that families and relocating buyers will value most
