Alvington itself, with it's village hall, cricket ground, football field and areas with River Severn views, is on the edge of the famous Forest of Dean which is characterised by more than 42 square miles of mixed woodland and is one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England. It forms a roughly triangular plateau bounded by the River Wye to the west and north-west and Herefordshire to the north, the River Severn to the south and the City of Gloucester to the east and provides an absolute wealth of outdoor pursuits to include rambling, mountain biking, riding to name but a few. There is access to Gloucestershire Grammar School and primary and secondary schools with local schools available in Alvington and further afield in Lydney.

The property sits in gardens and grounds of approximately 6.78 acres and is approached via double gates accessing the gravel driveway that offers parking for three cars, beside the lawned front garden.

The drive then continues past the property to give access to the equestrian facilities for horse boxes or trailers. To the rear of the property is an attractive seating area which has outdoor porcelain tiles supplied by Mandarin Stone and measures a generous 51' x 20'. There is a Gazebo that provides cover for the hot tub. This area has low stone walls that provide separation to a large lawned garden. Screened off to the side is the oil tank.

The impressive equestrian facilities include a recently constructed all-weather arena, 40' x 20' with Sand and Beta ride fibre surface, which has gabion baskets on one side and is enclosed by post and rail. Across the gravel driveway is the steel frame barn, (approximately 40' x 20'), with an attached hay store.

Beyond the barn is the stable block with five block built stables with CAM stable doors and tack room under a tiled roof.
