Location
Mireystock House is situated at the very top of the peaceful village of Lydbrook which offers a wealth of local amenities including a primary school - rated as 'Good' by Ofsted - plus a post office, convenience store, health centre and two reputable pubs.
The village offers lovely walks and, as it is set within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lydbrook is a popular spot for tourists, particularly during the summer months. Various companies offer a broad range of outdoor pursuits – such as canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding - and these showcase the spectacular River Wye.
Lydbrook lies on the north-west edge of the Royal Forest of Dean - an area which offers 24,000 acres of magnificent countryside, award-winning picnic sites, family cycle routes and gorgeous walks, as well as a huge selection of outdoor pursuits.
The home at a glance
Mireystock House offers the feeling of permanently being on holiday; the property is in a lovely setting within the Forest of Dean so occupants can enjoy the changing colours of the landscape as the seasons come and go. Undiscovered pathways through the ancient woodland are easily accessible as are marked routes and cycle paths. There is also ample opportunity to observe the wildlife. As Mireystock House is situated on the fringes of Lydbrook, it boasts total privacy; occupants can play music without fear of upsetting any neighbours or, if they prefer, they can enjoy the natural birdsong.
The main home was constructed in the 1930s and its architect was inspired by the arts and crafts movement, which favoured asymmetrical design and natural influences. The home itself has been professionally laid out by an interior designer with the brief of harmonising the colours of the surrounding natural landscape and its seasonal changes. For instance, warm hues in the lounge - which boasts a wood burning stove framed by an elegant cream marble fireplace - accentuate the lovely amber-coloured tree in the garden. Likewise, the south and east-facing bedroom has been furnished to highlight the frost-kissed trees during winter.
There are three double bedrooms in the main home and two further double bedrooms and shower rooms in the annexe, which also offers an indoor swimming pool, a games room with its own bar, plus a performance area. This complex also houses a home office which contains two desks along with a sofa; meaning that anyone working from home can plough through their assignments in a separate hub to the main house.
The lily pond in the garden is frequented by all sorts of fauna and these tiny visitors can be observed from two deck chairs set up on a sublime pebble beach. In addition, there are six raised beds in the kitchen gardens, plus a greenhouse, so there is ample opportunity to cultivate the freshest food imaginable and the kitchen offers plenty of space, not only to prepare food, but also for families to congregate.
Mireystock House offers a pleasant family home with generous accommodation that could perfectly suit multi-generational living but, because of its location within a tourism hotspot, there is also a prime opportunity to rent out the annexe or entire home as a forest retreat on holiday rental websites such as AirBnB.
