OWNER INSIGHT
"Forge Cottage has been a special home, and the location is absolutely perfect. Everything I could want is on the doorstep, and a beautiful view of the Church opposite. St Marychurch is one of the few places locally which holds a real community spirit, and the traders in the shopping precinct are always so welcoming. I am reluctant to leave, and hope to stay in the direct area, but I have made the difficult decision purely to find a home slightly more suited to my son's health and wellbeing requirements."
