A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached stone residence, occupying a generous plot of approximately one fifth of an acre, set within the heart of the sought-after village of Coalway. This charming home boasts off-road parking and enjoys beautifully maintained, enclosed gardens that offer a tranquil and private setting—ideal for family life or entertaining. Positioned close to picturesque woodland walks and the scenic surroundings of the Forest of Dean, the property offers the perfect blend of countryside living and convenient access to local amenities.
The village of Coalway is approximately 1 mile away from the market town of Coleford and offers local amenities to include an Infant and Junior School, a Playgroup for pre-school, shops, village pub, park with recreation ground and a local football club.
The entrance to this handsome stone-built home is charming and traditional, with a gate leading through a small front garden into a modest porch. This entrance space is perfectly practical, ideal for boots and coats after a country walk, and gives a little breathing space before stepping into the main hall.
To the right of the entrance, the dining room sits at the front of the house and enjoys excellent natural light through a large window. It’s a lovely room that feels bright and balanced, making it ideal for both everyday use and more formal occasions. Whether you’re hosting Sunday lunch or simply enjoying breakfast in the sunshine, this space feels cheerful and inviting. The separation from the kitchen gives it a more traditional feel, yet the close proximity still makes it practical.
Opposite the dining room, the living room is full of warmth and period charm. The space is defined by its ceiling beams and a stone fireplace that instantly draws the eye. It’s a room that naturally encourages you to settle in, whether for cosy winter evenings with the fire lit or relaxed summer afternoons with the window open to the sound of the garden. With ample space for large furniture and a natural alcove for shelving, it’s both functional and atmospheric. A door leads through from here to the study, allowing for an open connection between the two if desired, or a clear separation when privacy is needed.
The study, set just behind the living room, is a more intimate and focused space. With a window looking out over the rear garden and walls currently lined with books, it’s easy to imagine this room as a quiet home office, hobby room or snug. Its position at the back of the home ensures a sense of calm, away from the movement of the rest of the household.
The kitchen runs along the side of the house and makes excellent use of the available space. Long countertops run beneath and beside the large side window, offering plenty of surface area for preparation and cooking. The layout is designed with practicality in mind, with lots of built-in cabinetry, space for modern appliances, and a central cooking area that could easily be updated to suit contemporary tastes. It’s a light, functional kitchen with clear potential for personalisation, and its location means it connects easily to the utility room beyond.
The utility room is unusually large and full of daylight thanks to windows on two sides. With direct access to the rear garden, it acts as a brilliant extension of the kitchen—perfect for laundry, storage, or even muddy dogs after countryside walks. There’s more than enough space here to create a boot room or pantry if desired, or to simply use it as a hardworking space to keep the main kitchen uncluttered. Off to the side is a conveniently located downstairs WC, neatly tucked away yet easily accessed from both the utility and garden—ideal for guests or young families.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor, the central landing offers access to four individual bedrooms and the main family bathroom. The largest bedroom is positioned at the front of the home. It’s a room with real presence, thanks to the tall ceilings and generous proportions, and offers plenty of space for wardrobes, dressing furniture, or even a reading chair by the window. The morning light streams in here, making it a bright and uplifting place to wake up.
A second large bedroom is found at the front of the home. This space has a more serene, tucked-away feel and offers an equally generous footprint. It’s perfectly placed as a main or guest bedroom and could be adapted to include built-in storage or even an en-suite, depending on how you want to use the space. Like the front bedroom, it feels private and peaceful, and its views over the garden make it especially tranquil.
A third bedroom faces the rear of the property and, whilst smaller than the first two, is still a very comfortable size. It would suit a child’s bedroom, home office or guest room, and with its soft light and garden outlook, it feels very calm and inviting. Its position at the back of the house gives it a wonderful sense of seclusion.
The fourth bedroom is compact and currently used as an office and workspace. It’s positioned at the rear of the home and, like the others, benefits from natural light and solid proportions. It could easily serve as a nursery, dressing room, or be retained as a dedicated study, depending on your needs.
The family bathroom sits under the eaves and is full of character. With a pink vintage suite and sloped ceiling, the space feels nostalgic and charming, while still offering enough room for a full remodel if desired. A window at the far end adds a lovely softness to the light in the space. Whether kept as-is for its retro appeal or reimagined with a sleek new design, the footprint offers real flexibility.
Outside - The rear garden is in sections and a true highlight. Stepping out from the utility room, you find yourself on a pathway that leads to a large, level lawn framed by mature planting. There’s a feeling of privacy here that’s quite unexpected, with tall hedging, established trees and flowering borders that provide colour and seclusion throughout the seasons. The middle area of the gardens offer summerhouse, pond, lawn, two stone outbuildings and an old wooden shed. The upper gardens are of a food forest style with over 20 fruit trees, bushes and herbs, with a central greenhouse. There’s plenty of room for children to play, for vegetables to be grown, or for entertaining friends and family under the open sky. The garden wraps around slightly, creating hidden corners and a sense of natural depth. The driveway runs down the side of the property and provides practical off-road parking behind a gated entrance. It leads directly to the side of the house, making it convenient for unloading shopping or gaining easy access to the utility space without needing to come through the main living areas.
