Penstone is a small hamlet between the larger villages of
Coleford and Colebrooke and sits in a beautiful part of the county.
Its a collection of period houses, characterised by thatched roofs
and whitewashed walls. This property is an end terraced, Grade II
listed thatched cottage that has undergone a full renovation which
really adds to the appeal of the cottage. There is underfloor
heating throughout the ground floor and radiators upstairs, all
powered by an airsource heat pump, allowing the house to still
breathe but providing a great constant temperature. Of course,
there Is also the wood burner for those extra cosy nights in
As mentioned, the cottage has been updated throughout whilst
ensuring the character of the building is retained. The layout is
typical of a cottage of this type with the living room opening
through to the kitchen at the rear. A well designed space, the
kitchen adds to the feel of the house with its built in appliances
and solid wood tops. The shower room is fully tiled and a lovely
place to be, being bright and stylish. From the living room are
stairs up to the first floor where the two bedrooms can be
found.
Outside, to the side is off road parking for 2 vehicles and a
gate leads to the garden. Theres a useful bin wood store on the
lower level and access to the back door. Steps lead up to the good
sized garden which rises to provide some stunning rural views. A
notable point is that there is a full irrigation system in place
for the front and rear flower beds which is a really nice touch.
There is a fantastic seating area to the top of the garden too with
views and space to relax. Power runs to the good sized timber
outbuilding which could be used for a multitude of things including
a home office, workshop or just as a store.
To find a cottage with such character and in great condition
doesnt happen often and we love the addition of the airsource
heatpump for constant and efficient heating. Once this is all
combined with the setting and garden, plus off road parking, its
sure to appeal.
