Blackrock Farmhouse

An imposing four bedroom detached Victorian property situated in a plot of approx. 2.9 acres and benefitting from two paddocks.

Blackrock Farmhouse has been a key part of the Lydney Park Estate since the mid 19th Century. This substantial Victorian property,

built from local quarried stone, is situated on the outskirts of town in an elevated position that affords stunning far reaching views over the Severn Vale in a southerly direction.

The house has an abundance of character. Large well proportioned accommodation and high ceilings create a wonderful sense of space whilst the double aspect of the principal rooms allows natural daylight to flood throughout.

There are three spacious reception rooms and four large double bedrooms, a generous utility room/scullery. The cellar serves as an excellent cool room and useful storage space. The garden surrounding the house is level and easy to manage. The remainder of the ground lies to the west and is divided into separately fenced paddocks, extending to approximately two acres. Blackrock Farmhouse represents an opportunity to not only own a substantial period house with land, but also to remain close to the facilities of the town.

Lydney offers a wide range of facilities with many shops, a bank, building society and supermarkets as well as a sports centre, golf course, primary and secondary schools. A wider range of leisure facilities are also available throughout the Forest of Dean including further golf courses, leisure centres, two cinemas and an abundance of woodland and river walks.

The Severn crossings and M4 toward London, Bristol and Cardiff are easily reached from this area along with the cities of Gloucester and Cheltenham for access onto the M5 and the Midlands. Lydney and Gloucester also benefit from train stations giving excellent access throughout the country.
