The ancient settlement of St Briavels stands on the border of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is steeped in history and gathered around the impressive mediaeval castle. This handsome period property, formerly the village boot makers home and workshop, is situated in the heart of the village, it has been modernised with great style whilst retaining many unspoiled original features. There are five reception rooms, four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, all tastefully furnished and decorated and presented in excellent order. A spacious laundry/boot room is very practical storage space. A more recent addition is the smart new family kitchen breakfast room with bi-folding doors onto the terrace, a superb design. The enclosed walled garden is secure and easily managed. The Boot Shop is an exceptional family home in a much sought after village location.
