SIMPLY CHARMING! '1 The Old Forge House' is a very pretty, Grade II listed, thatched, period cottage offering deceptively spacious accommodation, situated in a lovely village centre address opposite the picturesque village pub and a short walk to the village shop, primary school and other amenities. It is only a short drive to Sherborne town centre and mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The house is in lovely decorative order throughout and is full of original character features including Inglenook fireplace with log burning stove, flagstone floors and exposed heavy beams. There is a generous level rear garden (70'6 width x 37'7 depth) enjoying a sunny aspect, driveway parking for two cars leading to a single garage (19'5 x 8'7) at the rear. The house is heated via oil-fired radiator central heating. The deceptively spacious accommodation (1783 square feet) is well laid out and enjoys good levels of natural light. It comprises entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen breakfast room with bespoke hand painted country kitchen units, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. On the first floor there is a landing area, two generous bedrooms (formerly three bedrooms) and a family bathroom. On the second floor, there is a large master bedroom. It is only a short walk to the village centre amenities and surrounding countryside – with dog walks from the front door. It is a short drive to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It also has good access to the mainline railway station making London Waterloo in just over two hours. This property is ideal for aspiring family buyers looking for somewhere pleasant to settle in this exceptional area. It also may appeal to the pied-a-terre or down-sizing market or letting market from cash buyers linked with the local schools. THIS STUNNING HOME NEEDS TO BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.

    SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields.  That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
