The Street, Coaley, Dursley, GL11 5EB

Wheelwrights occupies a prime central position in the popular village of Coaley, a stone's throw from the village primary school and within easy reach of the award-winning public house, community store and church.

Formerly known as The Old Forge, and prior to that St Bartholomew's Cottage, Wheelwrights forms part of Coaley's rich history. The Curtis family who lived and worked here ran the village forge, paint shop and workshop and were responsible for making and repairing carts, and became well known for their pneumatic tyred carts.

Previously two dwellings the property has been converted to create a beautifully well-balanced and generously proportioned detached home arranged over two floors, set in a good-size plot with an additional stone-built outbuilding 'The Forge' which offers huge potential to be converted/modernised.

This is a well-maintained and thoughtfully planned home with a modern gas-central heating system incorporating under-floor heating to the ground floor, stylish composite double glazed windows in keeping with the character of the building and good-quality fittings throughout.

The ground floor has a large 21' sitting room to the front, alongside a generous dual aspect snug/fourth bedroom. There is a beautifully light and bright triple-aspect kitchen/dining room to the rear with a range of quality units, a breakfast bar, and plenty of space for a table. Alongside the kitchen there is a good-size timber-framed conservatory with double doors onto the patio. A rear hallway which leads off of the kitchen has a door with a useful porch leading to the rear garden, a well-presented downstairs WC/shower room, and a utility room complete with a sink.

Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms, each with a double aspect and lovely views. The master bedroom has a particularly stunning view and a good-size en-suite shower room, there is a spacious landing with a large linen cupboard and a family bathroom with bath and shower over.

Outside the property has a gated entrance and a large block-paved driveway complete with an inset stone wheel, a nod to its place in village history. The Forge sits on the driveway and is a large unconverted stone built building with a power supply, spectacular beams and solid timber doors, alongside which you will find a good-size oak-framed double car port. The southerly side of the property has been laid to an attractive patio but it's sheltered sunny position would also lend itself well as a vegetable garden, this in turn leads to the rear garden which is laid predominantly to lawn with a patio running the length of the house, and a stunning outlook over open farmland.
