What changes the price in Wye Valley
Valley housing is a mix of listed riverside cottages, split-level homes cut into the hillside, converted chapels and former quarry workers' houses, with very few flat plots and a high share of solid stone walls.
Steep sites and thick stone walls mean external soil pipe runs are often impossible to relocate, so layouts here are usually designed around the existing stack rather than the other way round.
The Gloucestershire side of the Wye Valley runs from Lydney up through Tintern-facing hillsides to the Coleford plateau, and almost every bathroom here is fitted in a property built on a slope.
