Property description
Converted coach house, dating from 1890's with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, pretty garden leading down to River Boyd, garage and off street parking. This charming property is one of a small cluster of houses that sit behind a private, gated entrance on the edge of the pretty village of Wick. When the current owners purchased the property just over fifteen years ago they embarked upon an ambitious project of renovation, creating the stunning family home that it is today. The extensive refurbishment was done in a way that is incredibly sympathetic to the style and history of the original structure, but incorporates all the modern conveniences that are essential for contemporary living.The heart of this home is said to be the fabulous living and dining area that occupies what would have been the old barn. It is a large room in which the attention to detail is impeccable. There is a high vaulted ceiling, beautiful exposed stone along one entire wall, lovely oak beams and a big, open fireplace, the combination of which makes for a characterful and inviting room. The three stone arches that would have housed the old barn doors have been glazed, creating huge windows that allow natural light to flood the entire space. In the kitchen, great care and attention has once again been taken to create a space that, although finished to an incredibly high spec, maintains plenty of reminders of the history of the original dwelling.The grounds of this property are every bit as charming as the house itself. There is a small patio terrace and a large area of lawn, which is divided by a pretty path leading to a small section of the River Boyd, for which the current owners have bought the fishing rights. The bank has been decked to provide a wonderfully tranquil place to sit, rod in hand, and while away the hours while listening to the gently flowing water.The Coach House is situated on the fringes of the pretty Gloucestershire village of Wick, which is surrounded by a beautiful patchwork of farmland and countryside. Just a short stroll from the house is a row of shops for ones everyday necessities, two pubs and the primary school. This lovely home also enjoys very good transport links, with both Bristol and Bath being around ten minutes away by car, and both cities benefiting from mainline railway stations. The property is also just a short drive from the M4 motorway.The Coach House is quite simply a beautiful property in a wonderful location that offers a quite unique quality of life.
