Description:
The Old Forge is an exceptional Grade II Listed detached Cotswold stone village house. Beautifully renovated, this warm and inviting home is bursting with charm, character and period features and has been lovingly created to offer generous living spaces with plenty of natural light throughout.
The entrance hall leads to the ground floor living space. The main reception rooms all face south and two have doors opening directly onto the enclosed garden. The rooms are delightful with stunning wood and flagstone floors, exposed beams, Cotswold stone fireplaces and window seats.
The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the courtyard and with it’s 4 oven Sandyford Aga- style range it makes a great room for cooking up a feast when entertaining family and friends. There is plenty of work top space and storage. There is underfloor heating in the kitchen, hallway and the forges.
In what was once the original smithy there are two good sized rooms and a boot boom, each with high vaulted ceilings and brick floors. Two of the rooms retain the fabulous original forges. This wing can be directly accessed from the courtyard and driveway as well as via the entrance hall inside.
A cloakroom is a super addition to the ground floor living space.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite. All the bedrooms are bright and light with original wood floors and pretty views over the surrounding countryside and village.
The enclosed South facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn, surrounded by herbaceous borders and hedging. The gravel driveway provides ample parking alongside the double car port.
Vendors' thoughts: "The Old Forge is the most wonderful welcoming family home with loads of atmosphere and sitting in a lovely sunny position in this really friendly village. It has the ability to accommodate lots of people if needed, but is equally happy with just a single occupant as the accommodation is so flexible. I had thought about running a business from the forges as they can be separated from the house making this really unobtrusive."
In a nutshell: Fabulous original features, generous living space and in the heart of a superb village!
