Hill View
The Slad, Little London, Longhope, Gloucestershire
GL17 0PT

Perched in a stunning spot overlooking the Ley Brook valley in the Forest of Dean is Hill View - a detached four bedroom family home with a 1.5 acre garden with ample space to keep ponies, chickens, goats or sheep.

Lounge • Kitchen/breakfast room • Dining room • Study • Four bedrooms • Family bathroom • Downstairs loo • Separate utility building

Every season brings a new delight in this spectacular setting. A yellow haze of wild daffodils bloom at the top of the garden at the dawn of spring. The long, summer evenings can be spent basking in the heat on an outdoor sun terrace. Come autumn, the changing leaves across the valley create a show-stopping kaleidoscope of colour. Then, when winter arrives, snuggle up in a cosy nook next to one of three multi-fuel stoves.

The property at a glance
Year round, sizeable windows let in light and outstanding views in the kitchen, sitting room, frontward-facing upstairs bedrooms and family bathroom while hardwood flooring gives a naturally inviting and timeless effect.
The sizeable meadow boasts a stable, outbuildings, a variety of fruit trees, a vegetable patch and a chicken coop with an enclosed run.
There is plenty of potential for a new owner to create a studio in in an existing outbuilding in the garden or the separate utility hub.
There is no onward chain with this property.
Location
There are footpaths nearby taking explorers to an array of beautiful destinations – such as the summit of May Hill, distinguishable from miles around by a clump of trees on its summit, which forms an official Site of Special Scientific Interest.
For those who prefer a trip to a traditional country pub, The Red Hart Inn in Blaisdon, The Red Lion in Huntley, The Yew Tree Inn in Longhope and Hillside Brewery at Dursley Cross all have rave-reviews.
The home falls within the catchment area of two schools rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted – secondary school Dene Magna is situated three miles away, whereas Huntley Church of England Primary School is located less than two miles away.
