Mitcheldean has Georgian stone houses along the main street, 1960s and 1970s estate housing built for factory workers, and a scatter of large modern detached homes on the lanes towards Drybrook.
Older Mitcheldean houses often have small upstairs bathrooms formed from a divided bedroom, so gaining usable shower space usually means reworking the doorway or the airing cupboard.
Mitcheldean sits where the Forest meets the Severn Vale, a compact village of old stone houses and post-war estates built when the factory on the edge of the village was the main employer.
