The Forge is a Grade II Listed 17th Century detached timber framed cottage with thatched roof and has been updated to provide over 3,000 square feet of well-presented accommodation with a wealth of retained character features including some original beams. As is usual in properties of this age, the front door accesses a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a range of fitted units incorporating a range cooker, Belfast sink and modern appliances and with plentiful space for a table for more informal dining. To the left lies the well-proportioned dining room with quarry tiled floor and feature inglenook fireplace, a games room with feature fireplace and a separate study. The generous triple aspect sitting room boasts wooden flooring and French doors to the gardens.
The first floor accommodation is accessed from two separate staircases and comprises a spacious double aspect master bedroom with an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, together with three further well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are serviced by a family bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. The fourth is serviced by a Jack and Jill arrangement with the master bedroom en suite. The detached Forge lies adjacent to the main house and features a double height triple aspect sitting room with wooden floor, exposed A frame beams and French doors to the gardens. There is a well-proportioned ground floor shower room and two good-sized bedrooms, one to the ground floor and the other on a mezzanine floor accessible from the sitting room.
The well-maintained mature landscaped gardens surround the property on all sides and are a particular feature of this property, providing a good level of seclusion. A gravelled driveway with six-bar gate leads past The Forge annexe and the detached garage block, comprising a two-bay carport and a neighbouring garage/store room, to the front of the property, and boasts turning and parking space for multiple vehicles. The front garden has well-stocked cottage flowerbeds, an ornamental well and a good selection of mature shrubs and trees. The remaining gardens are laid mainly to level lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees, lending privacy to the setting. In addition, there is an outdoor swimming pool with pool cabin and a paved surround with pergola. A spacious paved terrace with ornamental pond and rose beds lies between the main residence and The Forge, and can be accessed from the sitting room of each property.
