The Forge is Grade II listed and believed to date from the 17th century. Constructed of a timber frame with rough cast rendered elevations under a tiled roof, the property is a fine example of the period with high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms. In recent years the property has been subject to an extensive programme of modernisation carried out to a high standard by the present owners with great care and sensitivity taken to retain and enhance the period features. The result is a beautiful and immaculately presented family home.
