A Rare Opportunity in May Hill – Detached Four-Bedroom Home with Spectacular Views, Paddock, Barn & Gardens

For the first time since it was built in 1964, this much-loved and beautifully situated detached four-bedroom home is being brought to the market. Nestled in the heart of May Hill, one of Gloucestershire’s most sought-after rural locations, the property enjoys an enviable elevated position with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and the Forest of Dean.

This is a property that offers not just a home, but a lifestyle — combining tranquillity, space, and potential in a setting of outstanding natural beauty.

The Property

Built in the mid-1960s and cherished by the same family ever since, the home retains much of its original character and offers an excellent canvas for modernisation, extension or redevelopment (subject to the necessary permissions).

The existing accommodation is well-proportioned and includes:

A welcoming entrance hall
Dual-aspect living room with open fireplace and views across the garden
Kitchen and utility area
Four generous bedrooms
Family bathroom and separate WC
Ample built-in storage throughout
The layout offers excellent flexibility for modern family living or for creating open-plan spaces, home offices, or multi-generational arrangements.

Outside Space

The home is set well back from the lane, approached by a private driveway with ample parking. The mature gardens wrap around the property, featuring well-stocked borders, open lawns, and seating areas – all positioned to take advantage of the stunning views. To the front of the garden lies a paddock measuring just under 3 acres, ideal for those with equestrian interests, hobby farming, or simply wishing to enjoy space and seclusion. In addition, there is a detached barn/stable block, offering excellent potential for equestrian use, storage, workshop space, or even conversion (subject to planning).

Location – May Hill

Famed for its iconic summit and panoramic views, May Hill is a rural community offering peace and seclusion while remaining accessible to the wider region. Surrounded by open countryside, woodland walks, and bridleways, it is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

Local amenities can be found in nearby villages such as Huntley and Longhope, with further shopping, dining, and schooling options available in Gloucester (approx. 9 miles) and Newent (approx. 5 miles). Excellent transport links connect the area to the M50 and M5 for regional and national travel.
