The house occupies an extraordinary location within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – it would certainly be hard to imagine a more tranquil and picturesque position and the views are simply breathtaking. History The following historical note, taken from ‘Reminiscences of Margaret Eyre 1874 – 1963, further endorses the home’s uniqueness and charm:- Margaret Eyre, a local historian, suffragist and member of the Folklore Society lived at Hudnalls House for over half a century. Her grandfather was John Edward Eyre, the explorer and colonial governor, famous for his discoveries in Australia where Lake Eyre and the Eyria Peninsula are named after him. In her autobiography, Margaret Eyre said “...Papa bought The Hudnalls in 1896, partly because he fell in love with the view- there was a rabbit sitting with its paws on the railing, as if admiring the view, which took Papa mightily; also he wanted a bit of rough shooting.” JW Scott, Librarian of University College London who visited Hudnalls said “There was only one occasion when I visited her lovely house, Hudnalls, by the village of St Briavels...we crossed the River Severn and drove through the Forest of Dean, dropping down a small hill to the drive to her house. The dramatic change came when we walked round to the back of the house, for there, deep down below our feet, was the whole vale of the Wye, stretching on to the distances.” The house is on the market for only the second time in over forty years. From the mid 1970’s and for three decades it was owned by a member of a famous rock band who invested heavily in landscaping and planting the magical ornamental grounds. The current owners have spent further significant sums in upgrading the fabric of the building, including re-roofing, re-wiring, installing new bathrooms, refitting the kitchen and replacing the central heating system. Access Hudnalls House is approached via a no through road. From a stone pillared entrance, a tree-lined driveway leads to a turning circle in front of a double garage with further ‘woodland parking’ and a lower entrance allowing for yet further guest parking for the largest of social gatherings.

  • Appendix 1: Forest of Dean Habitats of International and National Significance
    APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1: FOREST OF DEAN HABITATS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE The Forest of Dean District represents a complex landscape composed of a wide range of habitats and ecotones often in a mosaic and often with a high degree of connectivity due to the generally small scale mixed farming context in which they sit. Details of the main features for which the district is particularly important within a County, national and international context follow: International: River Wye – near natural lowland river with high quality water and associated invertebrate and migratory fish communities; the focus for re-establishment of the west Gloucestershire otter population. Wye Valley woodlands – native woodlands of near primeval woodland origin, demonstrate a wide range of nature woodland types with long and diverse traditional management and history; exceptionally rich in plant and invertebrate species and also important habitats for birds, dormouse and bats. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean offers a vital combination of suitable habitats for lesser and greater horseshoe bat populations. Of particular note are the many suitable breeding locations, extensive mines for hibernation and high quality woodland for feeding and transit habitats. Severn Estuary Ecosystem – A wide range of dynamic coastal habitats (saltmarsh, extensive sand and mud flats and rocky shores) and associated species, particularly wintering bird populations and migratory fish. National and County: Daffodil meadows. Orchards with dead wood invertebrates. Lowland heathland and associated species particularly nightjar. Severn Vale floodplain grasslands, some floristically rich and many with significant populations of wintering birds and breeding waders. Lowland ash/ oak/ lime and oak/ birch/ holly woods with characteristic and locally rich plant, invertebrate and bird assemblages.
