Casa Newnham

A rare chance to acquire a countryside home with clear scope for renovation, extension, or redevelopment (STPP), set in an elevated position on Popes Hill with sweeping views over the Severn Vale and towards the Cotswolds.

Occupying a generous plot, the extended four bedroom cottage offers flexible living space, including a principal suite and a fourth bedroom with private external access, ideal for conversion to a self-contained annexe, studio or home office.

Internally, the property would benefit from modernisation, presenting a blank canvas for those looking to create a bespoke rural residence or add value through refurbishment.

Externally, a large triple garage, ample parking, and expansive gardens further enhance the property’s development appeal.

Location:

Popes Hill is a desirable rural hamlet located within the Forest of Dean district in Gloucestershire. Positioned between the market towns of Cinderford and Newnham-on-Severn, it offers an elevated setting with far-reaching views across the Severn Vale and towards the Cotswold Hills.

Known for its peaceful atmosphere, scenic walking routes, and proximity to woodland and open countryside, Popes Hill provides an appealing mix of seclusion and connectivity. The area attracts homeowners seeking a tranquil lifestyle as well as developers drawn to the location’s natural beauty and growing demand for countryside living.

While enjoying a rural setting, Popes Hill benefits from convenient access to key transport links, including the A48, which connects to Gloucester, Chepstow, and the M5/M4 corridors. Rail connections are available from Gloucester and Lydney, offering routes to Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London.
