Description

Soilwell Manor is located in a quaint hamlet to the northwest of the riverside town of Lydney. This historically significant and striking Grade II Listed residence is set on approximately .75 acres, offering stunning views of the River Severn from its elevated position. It is believed that a structure has existed on this site since the 13th century. According to Historic England, the manor was reconstructed in 1661, with additional modifications made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The accommodation includes spacious reception areas, four bedrooms, and a sizable cellar, while the former kitchen features an impressive inglenook fireplace. Many original architectural elements, such as grand fireplaces, ceiling beams, and panelling, are still intact. While the property does require significant renovations, it remains a captivating house with rich history dating back to the 17th century and earlier. With the right investment, it has the potential to be transformed into a stunning country home once again.
