Uplands, Grove Road, Lydney – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
Coming to the market for the first time since 1960, Uplands is a stunning and iconic six-bedroom period property offering almost 5,000 sq ft of exceptional space, character and possibility. With beautifully proportioned rooms, high ceilings, sash windows, original fireplaces and an impressive sense of presence, this is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire one of Lydney’s most distinctive family homes.

The wonderfully flexible accommodation includes three spacious and versatile reception rooms, a generous family kitchen, four bedrooms on the first floor and two further bedrooms on the second floor. Its scale and layout make Uplands ideal for a growing or multigenerational family, with ample room for older children returning home, visiting family and friends, home working, creative pursuits or more independent living. The house enjoys spectacular panoramic views over Lydney, across the River Severn, Severn Vale and The Cotswolds, with the Severn Bridge visible on a clear day. These remarkable views can be enjoyed from the drive, conservatory, principal bedroom and another of the main bedrooms, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons.

Outside, the extensive, secluded grounds provide a wonderfully private retreat in the heart of the town. The gardens include a swimming pool, a large paved patio offering a superb setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and table tennis, and an expansive croquet lawn that was formerly a tennis court. A separate section of the grounds may also offer potential for a building plot, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Uplands combines the privacy and space of a substantial country house with the convenience and community of town-centre living. Tennis, rugby, football, hockey and netball clubs are within walking distance, together with local schools, shops, cafés and everyday amenities.
Lydney railway station is approximately one mile away, providing convenient and direct connections to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Birmingham New Street as well as Chepstow, Newport and Cardiff with Bristol being within driving distance. The property is also well placed for access to grammar schools and other highly regarded state and independent schools.

Often described as the gateway to the Forest of Dean, Lydney is surrounded by some of Gloucestershire’s most beautiful countryside. Woodland walks can be enjoyed close to the house, while Lydney Harbour, the River Severn and the Forest’s renowned walking and cycling trails are all readily accessible. Just beyond the Forest lies the spectacular Wye Valley, offering yet more beautiful scenery, riverside walks, historic villages and outdoor adventures.

A grand family home with extraordinary views, private grounds, a swimming pool and outstanding versatility, Uplands offers a rare opportunity to create a magnificent home for generations to come.
