Newbury Cottages, Coleford, BA3 5RU

Approached behind a low brick wall topped with slate, the cottage enjoys an attractive frontage with a neatly paved garden area providing practical space for bins and storage. A generous entrance porch creates an ideal everyday boot room with ample space for coats, footwear and logs, immediately setting the tone for the practical yet characterful accommodation beyond.

The kitchen has been stylishly renovated in keeping with the cottage’s character, fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, integrated appliances, open shelving and classic subway tiling. At its heart sits a range cooker recessed within the original chimney breast, creating a charming focal point that perfectly complements the cottage aesthetic. A large deep-silled window to the front elevation fills the room with natural light.

Beyond, the accommodation opens beautifully into a superb open-plan living and dining space, thoughtfully extended to the rear to maximise both light and the stunning countryside outlook. The sitting area centres around an impressive red brick fireplace with inset woodburning stove set upon a slate hearth, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout.

To the rear, the dining extension forms a particularly striking space, bathed in natural light from expansive aluminium patio doors and a substantial overhead rooflight. The room opens directly onto the raised terrace and gardens beyond, creating a seamless connection between the interior and surrounding landscape, perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are generous doubles enjoying attractive far-reaching rural views to either the front or rear. Newly fitted carpets and characterful wall panelling add warmth and texture throughout, while the beautifully renovated family bathroom combines traditional styling with contemporary comfort, featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure and elegant heritage-inspired sanitary ware.

The property has been tastefully decorated throughout and is presented in excellent order, ready for immediate occupation.

The gardens are a particular highlight. To the rear, the landscaped garden unfolds across a series of split levels, beginning with a raised terrace laid with large slate paving and artificial lawn, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the exceptional countryside views and sunny aspect. Steps descend to further gravelled and lawned areas bordered by mature planting, creating a private and tranquil outdoor retreat backing directly onto open fields. At the far end of the garden sits an attractive bespoke shepherd's hut, with power and wifi, providing potential workshop space or garden office.

To the front, a substantial driveway provides parking for several vehicles alongside an additional storage shed, with further potential for garage construction subject to the necessary permissions.

Further enhancing the home’s efficiency credentials is an owned solar thermal hot water system.
