This period property dating back to the Industrial Revolution is bigger on the inside - and comes without the restrictions of a Grade II listing.

3 Staunton House, in Coleford, is believed to date back to the 1780s, when the town’s industries - including mining, ironmaking, and quarrying - were expanding.

The house itself spans two floors, with period features including unique windows and exposed ceiling beams, but none of the restrictions that usually come with a property of this type and age, which would normally be Grade II listed.

On the ground floor is a dining room with traditional diamond-shaped windows in a stone frame, a sitting room with French doors to the garden, and a lounge with an open fireplace, as well as a kitchen, a study and a tool store.

In addition to the two floors, there are two rooms in the basement, along with a WC, and outside there is a garage, a lawn and a patio area.
