Property Description
Tenure: Freehold
With a name such as Forge Cottage its unsurprising that this beautiful 18th Century character detached home was once the local forge for the area. Standing in this most distinctive setting this iconic family home has undergone a transformation over recent years to create a superbly versatile and generously proportioned property, taking full advantage of its unique plot. With character in abundance the property has been sensitively improved with a wonderful use of natural materials designed to enhance its undeniable appeal. The extent of the accommodation creates enormous versatility with four large reception rooms and an additional study. The beautiful kitchen is fabulously equipped with natural wood work tops and free-standing Aga providing both warmth and character. The bedrooms are all on the first floor, with bedroom four being separately accessed, and there is both a ground floor bathroom and first floor shower room. Outside the gardens have been cleverly landscaped and wrap around the property, and even includes a concealed access to a small cellar which is currently used as a music room. With so much on offer behind its unassuming but characterful frontage, this truly is a home worthy of an internal inspection to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
