Forest View, Old Road, Coleford, GL16 7JJ

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.
