Period detached 4 bedroom property situated on the outskirts of Coleford in a rural idyll close to open countryside, but only a few minutes walk to the small market town.
Many period features throughout Original doors to all rooms Original fireplaces to main reception rooms Fitted bookshelves throughout Country style kitchen - added to original property Large cellar Substantial gardens to the rear Garage and further off road parking Adjoining plot of land for sale Walking distance to town This historic Millhouse dates back to the early 1800s. It was owned during this period (circa 1821) by William Stenson, an engineer in the mining industry, renowned as "the father of Coalville". His son, John F. Stenson, inherited the property upon his death. John F. Stenson later married Elizabeth Stephenson, the daughter of James Stephenson, brother of the famous engineer, George Stephenson. The property today retains many of its original features, including the large cellar. A spacious kitchen has since been added by the present owners. The original wooden front door was later found and replaced by the owners and remains in situ. Leading from the hallway are the sitting room, the snug and the family living/dining room, all of which feature fireplaces. This then leads onto the kitchen which extends across the rear of the house. The sitting room is warm and inviting and has the benefit of a generous dual fuel burner. The snug similarly features a fireplace and could easily be adapted as a study. From the hallway we are then led into the living/dining room; an ideal room for entertaining and general family life. This then leads into the kitchen which is light and bright and easily accommodates a kitchen table for dining. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, all of which have the advantage of marvellous views of the surrounding area and gardens. A shower room/cloakroom is situated on this floor, with the main family bathroom situated downstairs, adjacent to the family room. To the rear of the property are expansive gardens, leaving up to a pond and covering approximately half an acre. NB: To the side of the property is a further plot of land which is owned by the present owners, who are willing to sell the plot, either on its own or with the property. The plot has outline planning permission in place for a 4 bedroom detached house.
IN SUMMARY (Agents opinion) This charming period property is set in an idyllic location, but very close to local amenities. We feel this home would be ideal for a growing family or anyone looker for a gentler pace of life. The property could be updated if felt necessary, but still retain many of its original features.
