Brummels Drive is idyllically situated in a very pretty location – literally a leafy lane which eventually meanders further into a track and footpaths through the picturesque Forest of Dean.
Ideal for nature lovers or dog walkers to have walks & forest trails into the countryside literally on your doorstep.
Amazingly the property is still close to amenities with a local shop/newsagent within reasonable walking distance but actually only a five minute drive to Coleford town centre.
The actual house has an Arts and Crafts feel although it was built in the 1950’s and has some unusual features which include a very attractive fireplace in the Sitting Room. The interior has a practical and stylish interior with spacious, light rooms and all the features you would require for modern living. The charming Sitting Room opens up to a study area and also to a large and very smart Conservatory/Sun Room. This room is currently used for formal dining with vaulted ceiling and exposed A frame beams, also having French doors to the large sun deck at the rear of the house, wonderful for entertaining.
The large Kitchen also has plenty of space for dining, an informal sitting area and is well fitted with classic units which include a large range cooker & integral fridge, freezer & dishwasher. The dining area also having access through further French doors to the decked area and would be such a pleasant space to spend time.
An inner hallway offers a link to the ground floor Annexe, the Utility Room and Ground Floor Cloakroom. With a further Front door and large storage cupboards.
Upstairs in the main house are two charming double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The Master Bedroom having a practical ensuite with a double shower cubicle
The Ground Floor Annexe is surprisingly spacious with a pleasant Sitting Room with French doors to the front and a well fitted kitchen . The double Bedroom has views of the rear garden and has a large en-suite bathroom leading from it. There is space in the attic above the annexe for perhaps another level or maybe a mezzanine sleeping .

IN SUMMARY (Agents opinion)
This is a very attractive home in a great location and with the major plus of a smart annexe this can suit so many buyers. From working Mums who need a resident au pair to someone needing to share with an elderly parent, a holiday let ,a home office space or even a teenage suite this annexe is ideal.
The reception space is very well presented, light and spacious. The layout works very well. The gardens are immaculate and beautifully maintained & offer plenty of parking. 
Such a pretty spot on the edge of the forest trails it would be a pleasure to live here– book your viewing now in case you miss out – we can thoroughly recommend.

CHRISTCHURCH
Is a reasonably large village in the hills directly above the beautiful Wye Valley and only a short drive to Symonds Yat East which is the entrance to the Wye Gorge . However going in the other direction The Wye Valley can be reached by driving to Lower Lydbrook and on to Ross-on-Wye .
On the edge of the Forest of Dean in particular adjoining Ellis Reddings Wood  this village is unusual in that it  has amenities with a local inn,  newsagent, Spa supermarket, campsite (Bracelands) and a takeaway (Chinese and Fish & Chips)  within a reasonable walk . However it is only 5 minutes drive to the centre of Coleford Town which offers a more comprehensive range of shopping.
The village is a real mixture of individual properties from executive modern homes to old cottages, many of which have been upgraded and now offers many upmarket properties.
There is a beautiful Church from which the village was named.  There is a  school and a college all within walking distance.
COLEFORD  is a small  town situated in the west of the Forest of Dean.  It provides a range of independent shops as well as a supermarket for the grocery shopping.  It is close to the Wye Valley, a popular walking and canoeing area.  Today, due to its prime location in the heart of the Forest, Coleford is popular with walkers and cyclists, and the local council has been striving to encourage further tourist interest in the area. For the Golfers there are two courses nearby –the Forest of Dean Golf Club & Bell’s Golf club both on the fringes of town. There are also two fitness centres on the College campus There is one large  factory in town , originally called Carters, then Beechams, and now part of GlaxoSmithKline, which is the sole production facility for Ribena and Lucozade.   It is also the administrative centre of the Forest of Dean District Council.  One old building that has survived is the former goods shed for the defunct railway line to Monmouth, which is now the Coleford GWR Museum.  The town also boasts a selection of pubs, cinema and theatre.  For days out you do not have to travel to far with Clearwell Caves, Perrygrove Railway, Puzzle Wood and the Sculpture Trail all on your doorstep.
MONMOUTH  itself is a thriving town with excellent shopping facilities including three supermarkets in the centre.  There is a delightful period cinema which is undergoing a refurbishment programme and an excellent Leisure Centre with swimming pools, gymnasium, etc.  There is a wide range of eating and drinking venues

MOTORWAYS  The M50/M5/M4 are all reasonably close giving good access to major cities i.e. Birmingham, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Hereford all within approx 1.5 hours drive away.
RAILWAYS  Available at  Abergavenny, Gloucester, Lydney, Hereford or Newport.
