A two-bedroom detached bungalow, conveniently positioned close to Coleford town centre, featuring an extended sun room, off-road parking, a garage, and a large workshop.
The vibrant market town of Coleford, nestled in the picturesque Forest of Dean, offers the perfect blend of convenience and charm. Ideally situated just 12 miles from key motorway links, it provides easy access to the wider region while maintaining a rich array of local amenities. The town has a variety of facilities, including a cinema, post office, library, a range of shops, three supermarkets, as well as pubs and restaurants. The town also boasts excellent educational options with both primary and secondary schools, along with two golf courses.
From the front door, you step into a entrance hallway which provides a practical buffer from the main living space and leads naturally into the heart of the home. From here, doors open into the principal rooms, creating a clear and easy flow that suits both everyday living and entertaining.
The living room is a warm and inviting space, well proportioned and easy to furnish, with plenty of room for full-sized sofas and occasional furniture. A charming feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings, while the hearth and surround add character without overpowering the room. A wide front-facing window allows natural light to pour in throughout the day, giving the room a bright, airy feel while still offering privacy. The layout works particularly well, with generous wall space for media furniture and artwork, and enough depth to comfortably zone seating around the stove. Overall, it is a welcoming and comfortable room that forms the heart of the home, equally suited to everyday living and quiet nights in.
Adjoining the living room, the kitchen is a bright and neatly presented space, thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the available room. Arranged in a practical U-shape, it offers generous worktop space for food preparation alongside a good range of cupboards, creating a kitchen that feels both efficient and easy to use. A window set above the sink brings in plenty of natural light and provides a pleasant outlook, helping the room feel airy and welcoming. There is clear space for freestanding appliances, while the proportions allow everything to be within easy reach, making it ideal for everyday cooking. Finished in a clean, neutral style, the kitchen feels well cared for and functional, with scope for a new owner to personalise if desired. It also houses a gas fired combi boiler.
The property offers two bedrooms, both thoughtfully laid out. The main bedroom is a bright and comfortable double room, enjoying a peaceful outlook and a lovely connection to the garden. Well proportioned, it easily accommodates a double bed along with bedside tables and additional furniture, whilst having coinvent build in wardrobes while still retaining a sense of openness. Glazed doors open directly onto the rear terrace, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating an appealing indoor–outdoor feel. This feature not only enhances the sense of space but also makes it a wonderful room to wake up in, with fresh air and garden views close at hand. Calm and inviting, the bedroom works equally well as a restful retreat or a practical everyday space.
Bedroom two is a versatile and well-lit space, offering flexibility to suit a range of needs. Comfortably sized for a bed and storage furniture and also includes a build in wardrobe it works well as a guest bedroom while also lending itself perfectly to use as a home office or hobby room.

This connection creates a pleasant outlook and gives the room an airy feel, while still providing privacy when required. Calm and adaptable, it is a useful addition to the accommodation and complements the layout of the home nicely.
To the rear, the sunroom is a particularly appealing addition to the home, providing a bright, versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

A frosted window allows plenty of natural light to filter in while maintaining privacy, enhancing the fresh, airy atmosphere. Neutral tones and simple finishes make this a versatile room that would suit a range of personal styles, offering a calm and functional space for both morning routines and evening wind-downs.
- Externally, the property continues to impress with a neatly arranged and low-maintenance garden that has been designed for ease of use and enjoyment. Directly accessible from both the main bedroom and the sunroom, a raised decked terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor seating, perfect for morning coffee or relaxed evenings, with steps leading down into the garden. The garden itself is primarily laid with gravel, creating a tidy, practical space with minimal upkeep, while still offering room for pots, planting and additional seating. A large timber shed sits neatly to one side measuring 12' x 8' with double doors and two windows, providing useful storage for garden tools and outdoor equipment. To the side of the property, a driveway leads to a detached garage, offering secure parking or further storage. The covered area between the house and garage adds an extra practical touch, providing sheltered access and enhancing the overall functionality of the outdoor space. Together, these external areas complement the bungalow beautifully, offering a pleasant balance of usability, privacy and low-maintenance living.
