Phil Bates of Savills Cheltenham, commented: “Bishopswood Leigh is a very attractive period home boasting a multitude of Georgian and Victorian features.
“Set within the rolling countryside close to the River Wye, its elevated position means glorious far-reaching views.
“An appealing family home as it is, a two storey outbuilding offers further potential, perhaps for multi-generation families or guests, subject to planning permission.”
