Old Road, Coleford

A delightful four-bedroom detached cottage, believed to date from the 1800s, offering more than 1,300 sq. ft. of accommodation and retaining plenty of the warmth and character you would expect from a home of this age. Set within a generous plot extending to approximately 0.17 acres, the gardens are particularly special, having been lovingly established with colourful planting, numerous fruit trees, productive growing areas and secluded lawns. Positioned along a peaceful lane within the ever-popular village of Coalway, the property offers an appealing combination of character, space and a wonderfully private setting.
Coalway remains one of the most popular villages on the outskirts of Coleford, offering a semi-rural lifestyle with excellent access to the surrounding Forest of Dean. The village benefits from convenient bus connections providing routes throughout the Forest and onwards towards Gloucester and Wales. Beautiful woodland, countryside walks and cycle routes are all within easy reach, while Coleford town centre is only a short drive away and provides a good range of shops, cafés, schools, leisure facilities and healthcare services.

The rear garden is extensive, established and wonderfully private, having been thoughtfully developed to create a colourful and productive outdoor space. Sweeping lawns are complemented by stone pathways, mature shrubs, flowering borders and an array of established trees, giving the garden an enchanting cottage-style feel.
Towards the far end is an especially impressive area which has been developed in the style of a food forest and incorporates around 20 fruit trees alongside productive planting. Various useful outbuildings and storage areas are also positioned throughout the grounds. With its abundance of planting, wildlife-friendly character and numerous areas in which to sit, grow produce or simply enjoy the surroundings, the garden offers something quite different from the typical village property.
